Road Meets Rail comes to life at Horsted Keynes station, bringing together road steam and rail steam for a truly unforgettable weekend.

An impressive array of traction engines, road rollers, steam wagons, showman’s engines, crane engines and other road steam vehicles will be on display and in action throughout the weekend. Watch demonstrations of road building, wood sawing, timber haulage and heavy lifting, showcasing how essential tasks were carried out in the early 1900s using steam power alone.

Adding to the spectacle, traditional fairground rides powered by a Showman’s engine will delight visitors of all ages, while authentic deliveries arrive at the station by steam wagon, traction engine, and pantechnicon, just as they would have done over a century ago. All the while, steam-hauled passenger trains will be passing through the station, with a goods train shunting in and out amid the activity, completing the scene.
