The 'Yank' USATC S160 film star

Yesterday at Ingrow station. USATC S160 waits
the road at Ingrow
 
 
Of course 'Big Jim' as we know here was also a
film star in the film 'Yanks'

 
As was Keighley station where the final scenes
were shot.

 
Here the yanks entrain to go south for Operation
Overlord and the invasion of France

 
Richard Geere starred

 
Made in 1978 Keighley station and Big Jim
were central players in the drama

 
A background many of us know very well indeed

 
Of course we must never forget many of these American
boys were killed
 
The film recreates the very human side of a soldiers life
