1) Minsters’ Rail has its own song!
The lyrics
are below, and the song itself will be on this website,
just as soon
as I can work out how to get it there.
ALL JOIN
IN
As I walk
along this vale,
I see a
shining path
A blaze of
silver rail.
Now it’s
only in my mind,
But this
phoenix shall arise
From the
ashes, in our time.
For the
day is coming soon,
When our
dreams shall be realised.
So join
in, all join in…
CHORUS: We’ll
build it big, we’ll build it strong
With your
help it won’t be long
‘Til these
hills ring out with our line
For with
iron and with wood
With our
hands we will make good
The years
without the train.
As our
line’s born again
Part of
our heritage.
What was
seen as history
Once again
is coming round
To reshape
our destiny
So our
children will rejoice
In the
things we have handed down
So join
in, all join in….
CHORUS:
So join
in, all join in.
So join
in, all join in…
CHORUS:
Lyrics and
tune copyright 2007 Phil Mathison
2) LAST
FEW LEFT…..
We still
have a few copies of the Marsden Rail DVD
covering
the former railway lines that went through Market Weighton.
One of
these lines was the York to Hull route which interests the MRC today.
To
purchase this fascinating glimpse into the old-fashioned way of doing things
and the history of the line contact the chairman via GeorMcMan@aol.com for further information.
