Saturday 15 April 2006
The
following pictures were taken by Howard Bishop on Saturday 15 April
2006 - the day when the Railway re-opened after the year long closure
period.
The pictures show the new display hall ( "The Engine House") at Moor
Road and the first passenger train departing from the new Moor Road
platform and arriving at Park Halt. Rather fittingly, the trains
were hauled by 1932-built Hunslet
0-6-0 diesel locomotive "John Alcock" which also hauled the very first
passenger trains when the Railway was preserved in 1960.
