From a Railway Carriage

R. L. Stevenson

Close-up of the poem in its original location.

“From a Railway Carriage” by R L Stevenson is fixed to the railings, near to the bottom of the ramp that leads down to platform 2 of Belper Railway station. This has been printed into and painted on recycled aluminium in the style of an old railway advertisement.

By kind permission of East Midlands Trains, both platforms at the station have a poem displayed. We are grateful to East Midlands Trains for donating the cost of the display noticeboard and fixing the poems.

Beth came to Belper by train as her late husband had worked for British Railways for many years and rail travel was always her first choice.
