热烈祝贺2012年伦敦奥运会开幕! 海子网收到英国车迷Stephen的来信,介绍了2012年奥运火炬传递的故事:
“Excitement for the London Olympics has been generated by an Olympic torch tour all round Great Britain, witnessed by Honey and Qiuying in Harrogate. Steam trains played a major part, with Royal Scot class locomotive taking the flame from the National Railway Museum in York to Thirsk, A4 Sir Nigel Gresley taking the flame at Pickering, the Manx Electric Railway carrying the torch on Tram Car No. 1 (Isle of Man). The flame left the torch to go in a miner’s safety lamp on the Ffestiniog Railway and in Lincolnshire the torch took a trip on the Cleethorpe Coast Light Railway. The Snowdon Mountain Railway took the torch on its’ rack lines to the top of Snowdon where mountaineer Sir Christopher Bonington held it. Now it is in London and the games are set to begin. Kind regards
Stephen 注:英国车迷Stephen(史蒂芬先生) 曾经在2004年新年来到中国铁道博物馆,参加海子铁路网举办的车迷有约活动,并向中国车迷介绍自己的火车收藏故事。随后,史蒂芬先生又多次来到中国,与四川东北等地车迷朋友交流。史蒂芬先生还曾经安排中国铁道博物馆与海子网代表团赴英国参观英国约克铁道博物馆并参加火车爱好者车厢大会。 Honey 与 Qiuying 是史蒂芬的女儿和夫人,她们也参加了许多火车爱好者活动。更多他们的情况请参见海子网主办的《火车迷》杂志。
