UK Heritage Railways - Standard Gauge
I lost interest in railways
when steam finished on B.R. in the late 1960`s. However on a trip to
West Yorkshire in 1977,
I came across the Keighley
& Worth Valley Railway. I quickly became hooked on steam, for
the second time, on a memorable
journey behind 0-6-0
USA tank No.72 uphill from Keighley to Oxenhope. As I
stood at the open carriage window next to the
locomotive it felt as
though I was actually on the footplate. This loco is pictured above
at Keighley, in its later BR livery and No.30072.
Summer holidays from that
time were arranged around visits to preserved railways!
This gallery features my rambles around the UK Heritage Railways since 1977 .
