Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway - 6th May 2024

A visit to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway where there were 2 steam locomotives and 1 diesel locomotive in use. This is a railway I often call into at least once a year when I'm heading North to Settle and each time I notice a big difference in the progress that the volunteers have been making. The car park at Bolton Abbey and the new platforms have come a long way, and I can't wait until they are all in use.
Austerity 68067
Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST saddle tank engine No. 1208 'Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons No. 88
D2084 (03084)
The 03 at first was shunting in one of the new platforms built at Bolton Abbey before it was attached to double head with the Austerity to work back up the line to Embsay.

Another reason to ride a vintage railroad. A travel back in time! 🇬🇧👍🙂🇺🇸

Back when they ran on time and less strikes

This is a good thing to do, ride along a preserved railway. Keep doing it until you are sure cancellations and delays on the main line won't disrupt your mission any more than they have done. Believe me, it's much nicer when the preserved railways take away all your worries. Happy steaming.
