Here's another one.

Whoops!! I forgot these two. Enjoy. :-)

This one is kind of an oddity that I took at Keighley.

Either this was at the start of the previous run or halfway through the second one, I'm not sure.

Apparently a lot of people had line permits for the weekend, as it was a Steam Gala weekend. I never found out whether they were working for the railway, for a magazine, for themselves, or a combination of things, probably a combination.

I took this out of a train window and over 957's tender at Keighley. I just liked the shot.

Here's a shot of 957 running around at Keighley. In reality, both 957 and 85 ran around, but seperately.

Whenever or in whatever context that I took this (I don't remember) I like it. :-)

I'm again not sure of the correct order of these shots, but this is a shot back at Keighley before either an earlier run than the first that I showed, or a later one after the first. This wasn't the train I rode, though, as far as I know.

Again, I'm 90% certain this is Damems. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm 90% certain that this is Damems, but if anyone knows better please clue me in.

As on Picture 1, I don't know the location of this shot, so any advice would be welcome.

I don't know exactly where this was, but maybe some of you K&WV volunteers could enlighten me. Although I've been over the K&WV three times, I don't claim to know it well.

Here we are accelerating out of Oxenhope.

This is the first of a series of black and whites that I took on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway on my third visit there on February 18th, 2007. I started shooting black and white, if I'm not mistaken, when I got to Oxenhope, but I have to admit that in general these photos may not be in perfect order. Here we see ex-L&Y #957, built in 1887 (really!!), and Taff Vale #85, which is also ancient. The 957 is my favorite, though, being an L&Y "Ironclad" 0-6-0, as brutally authentic as a vintage British steamer can get. Neither is the oldest I've ever ridden behind, but they come close. They're also both quite small, so our train was headed by both locomotives.
