Steam Trains
In keeping with the on-site Head of Steam railway pub, several steam trains still pass through Huddersfield station including the Cotton Mill Express and the Scarborough Flyer.
On the disused side of Platform 2 of this station, an old carriage is bolted to the ground, and set in its window is a plaque commemorating 100 years of Steamtrain Hoorn Medemblik, a Dutch steam train.

Famous quotes containing the words steam and/or trains:
“A steam ran small and terrible and shrill;
it was so still;
the stream ran from the oak-copse
and returned and ran
back into shadow.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
