of people to a specific event 1 locomotive tours edit a locomotive railtour focuses on the type of locomotive hauling the train this may be a preserved locomotive a type not usually used for passenger trains or a type of locomotive which normally works some distance from the chosen route railtours in the 1980s saw a class 52 running to york and a class 55 to exeter nostalgic tours edit one type of
