40 Hours of Trains - First Pictures!
The IW Steam Railway's continuous service of steam trains over 40 hours got underway at 6am this morning (Saturday 25th June).
With the Railway's two Victorian locomotives - No 24 'Calbourne' & No. 8 'Freshwater' - both in steam, and train guard Robin Tagart still in his nightcap, a handful of eager 'early-birds' joined Steam Railway staff to ride on the first train of the day. Below are a selection of photos from the first trains of the weekend!
40 Hours of Trains continues through until 10pm on Sunday 26th June, with trains running through the night! A special timetable is in operation and refreshments are available throughout the 40 hours. A real ale bar is also available during 'normal' hours.
