The motive power for the weekend 1st & 2nd February will be as follows:
The accompanying photograph of 85 taken on the 11th January this year, shows the locomotive crossing the soon to be replaced Bridge 11 south of Ingrow Tunnel on its way to Oxenhope. This scene will change considerably when this bridge, now approaching the end of its useful life, is replaced by a new structure in March. The Railway is running an appeal to raise the £150,000 needed to replace the bridge. For more information on the bridge and how you can contribute to the appeal, click HERE.
Whilst every effort will be made to ensure that the advised motive power is available, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway reserve the right to change this when operational circumstances so dictate.

The Taff Vale tank No 85
Ready for lighting up
Warming through
Getting steam up
nearly ready
It was never like this on the Taff Vale
But a respectful touch for an old warrior
It is fun to drive, many do on foot ex days
NYMR some unpublished pictures
Your railways need you
Magnificent engines like Sir Nigel Gresley are only
preserved by volunteers
Black five 45428 'Eric Treacy'
Seen here at Pickering
Perfect opportunity to get up close safely
