Photos show heroic effort by Worth Valley Railway on Haworth steam locomotive shed

Yesterday we reported on the flooding caused by Storm Ciara at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

Photos kindly supplied to us by Noel Hartley, have revealed the heroic effort by the volunteers of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway at starting to clear up the mess at Haworth left behind by Storm Ciara.

Storm Ciara hit the UK last weekend, causing widespread disruption. However, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway at Haworth seems to be one of the worst-hit.

The extent of the damage to the railway infrastructure and locomotives is not yet known, but at least with the branches and debris cleared, assessing the full extent of damage can be completed.
