A Photo from Day 8 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
When planning this "Rail Tour" I had hoped to go the Great Central Railway (GCR) at Loughborough but a lack of Timetables on their web site and a shortage of anything i viewed as attractive in terms numbers of Steam Locomotives in service on this day (Saturday) prompted a change of plan.
I decided to go to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway (EBA) in the morning and I can move onto the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR) in the afternoon. It is only about 30 minutes by car between the 2 railways.
I joined at Embsay and was given a whole compartment to travel in to keep me away from other passengers. I think the railway must have been wanting to be careful and not take any risks of possibly allowing Covid to spread on their Railway.
Here, after travelling along the line to Bolton Abbey Station, No. 7 "Beatrice" was using the head shunt before running round the carriages to get ready for the return journey.
"Beatrice" No. 7 is a Hunslet Works No. 2705 0-6-0ST loco.
