1) Minsters’ Rail has its own song!

Yes, campaign member Phil Mathison has written “All Join In” to keep us on the right tracks.

 

 

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.

 

And so dawns another age

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.
