Freight trains are always popular at the various heritage railway galas each year, and the are no exception.

In the latest upload to our channel, which is part 1 of Disc 2 of our visit to the Keighley and Worth Railway’s 2020 Spring Steam Gala, we see 43924 in charge of a freight train at the popular Railway Children station of Oakworth.

However, first up we see 45596 Bahamas, which is a popular steam locomotive on the mainline, heading to Keighley with the first train of the day, an ECS movement from .

Sticking at Oakworth, we see Taffy Tank No. 85 arrive and depart with a Keighley to Oxenhope service.

With the line only having one passing loop in full passenger operation, we had to wait for No. 85 to return to Oakworth with a train back to Keighley.

After Taff Vale passed through, it was time for Midland Railway 4F to head to Oxenhope with a popular freight train service.

These are always popular at galas as it is only one of the few times a year to see freight wagons passing through a quaint countryside station.

We finish this video at Damems Junction as 43924 heads back to Keighley with the freight train.
