Fowler 0-4-0 Snowdown (works number 416002). This engine worked at the nearby colliery at Snowdown as a yard shunter. It is privately owned and currently has no train brakes. The engine is seen stabled on the line that links to the adjacent Network Rail sidings which are north east of the Network Rail station. This link is intact except for one short length of rail removed to isolate the line. The EKR are hoping to reinstate the link and acquire the adjacent sidings. Negotiations were taking place at the time this picture was taken. Shepherdswell Station, East Kent Railway, 17.06.2015 12719 (See also photo below).
