The ceremonial atmosphere permeates every detail - from the meticulously dressed attendees to the majestic iron horse that stands proudly at its destination. Newbury en fête! The entire town has come alive to celebrate this milestone achievement. Banners flutter in anticipation while colorful streamers adorn buildings along the railway route.
