What rot. We are talking about one movement every what, 4 to 6 weeks, if
that. Taken at an appropriate speed, with suitable escorts as security (to
ensure that people do not get too close) nothing will happen. About the only
danger I can see is if the loco is under steam, and that would only be
because of the smoke.
