Moves of its train at Holt to run around
The 9F's were superb in every way being able to
haul long heavy freight and Passenger trains alike.
I believe in passenger use they were clocked at eighty
to ninety miles per hour

K&WVR Loco roster for the weekend 5th 6th December
The first Santa Steam Special weekend had its fair share of wind and rain and hopefully this weekend will prove better for our locomotives and crews who had to survive gales and monsoon rain on both days. This weekend will have the same combination of locomotives with BR 4MT 4-6-0 75078 on Saturday and WD 2-8-0 90733 on Sunday. The north end traction will be provided by Class 37 370 075 on Saturday and Class 20 20 031 on Sunday.
The diesel service, which operates all day on both days and is free to those holding Santa Special tickets, will be in the hands of our class 101 diesel multiple unit.
For the timetables in operation this weekend, please click HERE to visit the main website.
Whilst every effort will 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.
