Over the bank holiday weekend we took another small step on the way to Weston. The limit of operation of the running line was extended down to Gasworks Bridge. This is a fitting reward for all who have helped with this project and it was good to see smiles on the faces of the volunteers and customers on these runs. Guy N was on hand and took the following pictures of the event.
We start with a look south along the line towards the bridge. The Stop board has been positioned and the track has been jacked and packed where necessary. The track has been inspected and tested and we are ready to go. The only thing missing is a passenger train.
In the distance the whistle blows and the sound of the steam loco can be heard making it's way along the line.
The loco and train eases up and creeps along to the end of the line.
There we have it, a steam loco on the new track, time to set off back to the station.
What a wonderful tribute to the hard work of so many people in all roles who made this happen, take a deep bow. Then take a deep breath as we push again on the way to Weston.
Until next time.
