Minute’s Silence Held for Railway War Heroes

A minute’s silence was held at Tyseley Loco Works at 11.00am today to mark Remembrance Day and to remember all of the Railway Employees who lost their lives fighting in The Great War over 100 Years ago, WW11 and in subsequent wars. Railway employees from locomotive sheds such as Tyseley near Birmingham gave up their jobs on the Railways to fight for their country, many of whom never returned.

The LMS-Patriot Project, the charitable organisation that is building the new National Memorial Engine, is keeping their memory alive by building a brand new ’Patriot’ Class steam locomotive ’The Unknown Warrior’.
