| | |  Hogwarts Express featured in railway tribute
Over the last weekend, many Potter fans have visited Carnforth, a small town near Lancaster in England, to attend a celebration of steam trains.
Included in the tribute, the Hogwarts Express was among vintage steam engines and modern diesel engines. A few images of the Hogwarts Express can be seen below.   
The organisers of the event were pleased with the attendance. Quote:
Peter Yates, of Carnforth Station Trust said: "What a fabulous event this has been. We're so grateful to West Coast Railways for giving the station one of its busiest days ever. It was fantastic to see one of the area's hidden treasures being seen by so many people."
More images can be seen in our gallery. | |

what a neat experience for those kids! One of the busiest day, Pete Yates, says? I would certainly expect that w/ the Hogwarts Express being the main reason!!

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
