Keighley & Worth Valley Railway – Autumn Steam Gala 2016 (4K)

Over the weekend of 7th-9th October 2016, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway held its annual Autumn Steam Gala.

 

The railway welcomed visiting locos 34053 ‘Sir Keith Park' (From the Severn Valley Railway) and 7822 ‘Foxcote Manor' (From the Llangollen Railway and courtesy of the 7822 Society). In addition the visiting locos were joined by the home fleet of Standard 4MT No. 75078, 4F 43924, S160 5820 ‘Big Jim', Coal Tank 1054, Taff Vale 85, and Nunlow – this gala was a must see event!

A surprise was to be had when after a successful test run, newly restored Black 5 No. 45212 become available to be rostered in the weekends activities.

This is the first time in 18 months that the KWVR could have visiting locomotives after the limit on the bridge at Ingrow West was removed.

In the video, we see clips from Keighley, Oakworth, Haworth, and Oxenhope, as well as some ‘Haworth Shed Shots'. The video also features Express Trains, Freight Trains as well as Vintage carriages courtesy of the Vintage Carriage Trust.

P.S. Great to see DansRailVideos throughout the day 🙂
