KWVR Keighley West Yorkshire 26th December 2022

A shot from our Boxing Day visit to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. With sanders on to help rail adhesion on this damp day Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 45212 works the 14.25 to Oxenhope Mince Pie Special out of Keighley station.

Interesting to see the lamp on the lower & offset to the right bracket which is authentic for its last years on BR. The top brackets were removed to avoid any danger of the fireman getting close to the overhead electric wires. Having said that 45212 retains its top bracket too!

The Limbo Connection, Lebojo, Erhard Bernstein, Typo93 and 5 other people have particularly liked this photo
