Fossil Fuels

 

Coal and oil passed in quick succession though Fiskerton at teatime yesterday. Class 66 No. 66784 Keighley and Worth Valley Railway 50^th Anniversary 1968-2018 was followed 7 minutes later by Class 60 No. 60020 The Willows. The coal train runs infrequently these days.

It is nice to see the K&VR’s achievements being recognised in this way. We were there in February 1969 soon after they had started up, so that was a quick half century, then. Yesterday’s photos were taken by Chris Priestley.
