Torre Station

The Opening of Torre Station
Just below Chapel hill
The event one of celebration
The first train arrives such a thrill

Applauded with due circumstance
Access to Torquay it would enhance
Though difficulties were not forseen
We celebrate the age of steam

The Opening of Torre Station
Just below Chapel hill
The event one of celebration
The first train arrives such a thrill

The Temperance society band
Led a procession I understand
Sergeant Boyd's buglers brought up the rear
The sound of the music a joy to the ear

Sir John Yarde Buller gave an address
The whole event was a great success
Banners proclaimed Brunel's broad gauge
Locomotives in the Victorian age

The Opening of Torre Station
Just below Chapel hill
The event one of celebration
The first train arrives such a thrill
