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.
When I arrived at "ingrow West" Station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR), there were 2 Steam Trains operating along the line. I missed the USATC 5820 "Big Jim" loco which was powering the other train and waited for the LMS Ivatt loco which was going to Keighley and then going the full length of the line to Oxenhope.
Although I would normally get off and photograph the run round etc., the bad weather made me stay put. I didn't get any photos at Keighley but like to get Video of locos going uphill as the line sets off from Keighley.
Here, the only photo I am going to share with Flickr users is of 41241 at Oxenhope Station.
41241 is an Ivatt designed and Crewe Works built for the LMS 2MT Tank loco.
Shortly after this I return to Ingrow West Station on board a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway "First Class" restored carriage which costs £2 or £3 pounds as a supplement.
During this journey i met an elderly retired Farmer who was having a very good week using a rail rover ticket.
I need to consider this option for 2022.
