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:
“The windows were then closed and the steam turned on. There was a sign up saying that no one could smoke, but you couldn’t help it. You were lucky if you didn’t burst into flames.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Conventions, at the present moment, are really menaced. The most striking sign of this is that people are now making unconventionality a social virtue, instead of an unsocial vice. The switches have been opened, and the laden trains must take their chance of a destination.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
