A sight you'll never see in Weymouth again.
Signs telling you not to park too near to the railway tracks.
It may be hard to believe, but trains once ran along some of Weymouth's streets.
Real trains, not the land train. Trains that run on tracks.
Some were steam trains.
They used to run from Weymouth station to the quayside near the Pavilion Theatre.
The last one ran, we think, in 1999. By then it was a rare event and something of a spectacle.
The rails stayed long after the trains stopped. But they've gone now. So too, we're guessing, is this sign.
