CLASSIC STEAM 1966 A MONTH-BY-MONTH JOURNEY AROUND BRITAIN IN PURSUIT OF STEAM (ROGER SIVITER) It was theyear that England won the football World Cup, Harold Wilson and Ian Smithwrestled with the Rhodesian question, TheSound of Music and Doctor Zhivagoswept the Oscars, Michael Caine starred in Alfie,and the Beatles had UK No 1 hits with Paperback Writer and YellowSubmarine. On therailways it was the year that the much-missed Somerset and Dorset line closed,as well as the former Great Central main line south of Rugby, not to mentionmany other lesser lines and individual stations. The 1,689 standard gauge steam locomotivesstill in daily use at the beginning of the year had been reduced to just 362 by1967, to disappear altogether the following year. During 1966,Robert Siviters career as a musician meant that many of his days were free totravel the country with his camera in pursuit of the vanishing steam age, bothat the lineside and in the loco shed.
