Southern Region Steam's Final Farewell in July 1967

July 1967 was the final month where Southern steam would still be in service before their eventual replacement by EMU's and modern diesel locomotives. Sun 9th July 1967 was to be the very last day of scheduled steam haulage on the Southern region and a selection of Southern steam engines we're put on the front of a series of railtours and express trains. 35028 Clan Line, 35008 Orient Line & 34025 Whimple are three of the steam locomotives featured in the film.

One of the locomotives featured in the film 35028 Clan Line is today preserved and sees regular use hauling the British Pullman on trains out of London's Victoria and Waterloo. As of September 2023 she is presently out of action undergoing firebox and boiler repairs.
