First introduced in the 19th Century, steam trains continue to be seen on our railways and are a form of leisure and enjoyment for people of all ages. DB Cargo UK is one of only two companies still able to operate steam locomotives on the country’s mainlines.
DB Cargo UK’s specialist staff have decades of experience and are trained traction inspectors, drivers and firemen.
Our company traces its ability to offer steam hauled services nationwide back to the days of British Rail and has operated many hundreds of steam charters across Great Britain through Rail Express Systems (RES), English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) and now DB Cargo UK.
This includes many of the most famous British steam locomotives from the 1903 built GWR 4-4-0 ‘City of Truro’ to the recently built LNER A1 Pacific ‘Tornado’.
Regular steam operation forms part of contracts held with Belmond British Pullman and the Torbay Express, as well as other steam services covering most of the UK.
