The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway have some locomotives moving around today.

Most of their movements can be caught on their webcams, including 47279 ‘Jinty’, who will be departing the Exhibition Shed and heading to Haworth Yard.

This is to assess the feasibility of an overhaul due to the cost.

A space in the shed opens up for the ’85 Taffy Tank’ after a trip to Keighley, as it is out of ticket and will join the queue for overhaul.

Also moving today to get ready for the weekend ahead will be the ‘Coal Tank’ moving to Haworth

Keep an eye out for the movements here.
