KWVR Keighley West Yorkshire 18th October 2020

On the preserved Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Midland Railway Fowler 4F 0-6-0 43924 noisily and smokily climbs southwards up the gradient from Keighley with the 14.10 train for Oxenhope. It is carrying a headboard with "43924 The Big Goods Centenarian" written on it. This commemorates its building at Derby works in 1920.

Tout à fait Nautilus. Je suis d'accord. On peut le faire à Keighley - pendant quelques moments au moins.

Good photo!
What is the maximum speed allowed for this and other 0-6-0 locos.

Loose_Grip/Pete replied to GrahamH:

Thanks Graham. All locos on the heritage lines are restricted to a max speed of 25mph because they operate under Light Railway Orders.

GrahamH replied to Loose_Grip/Pete:

I didn't know that, thanks. That would be a frustratingly slow run for some locos.

Hi Pete

A very nice picture, from a spot I know well (although not so well represented in ipernity pics - don't know why). Here's the opposite view.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48276232

It looks surprisingly green for October. They must have had a good summer!!!!

But great to see trains running again.



Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thanks Peter. I suspect the greenery is less green today! Have a great week!
