AN AMAZING line-up of steam locos is promised on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway this weekend.
The Spring Steam Gala will showcase home and visiting trains ranging from small shunting engines to large and powerful express locomotives.
Flagship locos will include two that recently returned to the Worth Valley line: the LMS ‘Jubilee’ class Bahamas, which has not been at a steam gala for more than 20 years, and British Railways Standard 2 78022 which only came back ‘into traffic’ in October last year.
Ivatt 41241, which returned to the line last June following an overhaul, can be seen this weekend. Black 5 45212 has returned to the railway after performing up and down the UK on the mainline for the majority of last year. Making its first visit to the Worth Valley line is a class 2 46521, from the Great Central Railway.
