World War II steam train returns to rails in England<br /><br />The 'Canadian Pacific', a 1940s steam train that took soldiers and supplies to England's south coast during World War Two, returned to service on March 19, 2025, taking on board volunteers who spent 14 years reconditioning it and relatives of those who built it. Billowing smoke from its chimney, the Canadian Pacific set off from the market town of Alresford, in southeast England, for an inaugural journey to nearby Alton marking the completion of a restoration project that began in 2011. <br /><br />REUTERS / THE WATERCRESS LINE FILMS UNIT / WATERCRESS LINE HANDOUT / REUTERS ARCHIVE<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#worldwarii <br />#canadianpacific
