    Road Meets Rail - Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 May 2023[​IMG]
    Road and rail based steam
    Goods trains in operation, with shunting demonstrations, and demonstrations of goods loading and unloading.

    Timetable - Event Details and advance booking

    A weekend of steam powered demonstrations and vintage fairground fun! Traction engines, road rollers, steam wagons, showman’s engines, crane engines and more… bringing Horsted Keynes station to life with recreations of a bygone age.

    See how road building, wood sawing, timber haulage and thrashing were carried out in the early 1900s. Watch as steam wagons and pantechnicons arrive with goods to be unloaded for onward rail transport and larger loads are craned into wagons. Experience vintage fairground rides, enjoy an ice cream and watch miniature steam displays in the paddock, with a fabulous view of the passenger trains passing by.

    On Saturday evening, live music, food and drink at Horsted Keynes.
    Everyone is welcome to this event so come along, wind down and enjoy the evening.

    Below are a few of the engines you’ll see working around Horsted Keynes station at the Bluebell's Road meets Rail event this coming weekend, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 May.

    Wood sawing, road building, thrashing… deliveries by steam wagon and pantechnicon… loads being lowered into wagons by steam crane… the sights of a bygone age being brought back to life at The Bluebell Railway!
