Charles chances upon a steam train, and a final chance of escape

"That chap said the same, didn't he?"
Driver to Terry

 

Almost to weak to go on, Charles is amazed to stumble across a railway line — and a steam engine taking on coal. Uncertain as to the sympathies of the train crew, but desperate for one last chance to escape, he sneaks aboard and passes out — his energies completely exhausted.

Description: This section of the Severn Valley steam rail line was a set of sidings close to Hampton Loade station — see here — which have since been removed.

Where was it?: The sidings have seen been redeveloped as a picnic area, and were located very nearby to what is now the Country Park Halt — see here.
