HFF KWVR Keighley West Yorkshire February 1969

HFF KWVR Keighley West Yorkshire February 1969
My first visit to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway 55 years ago! The only engine running was British Railways-built North Eastern Railway design J72 0-6-0T 69023 Joem. Back then the reversal at Keighley was quite long and involved shunting the coach out of the platform and running round south of the station. Presumably because BR wouldn't allow the KWVR to do this alongside the yard to the north.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

A real blast from the past Pete. I think my first visit to this spot was around that time too- maybe just a year or two later, I like the mood conveyed by the monochrome here. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
