Once the final resting place for many historic British locomotives and carriages, Vic Berry's became famous for its towering stacks of trains, a haunting reminder of the past. Discover the history of this scrapyard, how it handled some of the most iconic trains, and the environmental impact of its operations. Join us as we uncover the stories behind the rusted shells of locomotives and explore the remnants of Britain’s rail history.
