Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway

A nice day trip through to Bo'ness today.

This was the first day of the trains running this season at Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway.

National Coal Board (NCB) locomotive No 19 had her first trip out after the winter renovations and looked great.

Fortunate to see the 'Royal Scotsman' diesel locomotive as she departed, and also diesel locomotive 20 020 stationed at the platform in Bo'ness.

Birkhill station has had a makeover and change of colour scheme to the style of the 'Caledonian Railway' and the volunteers are to be commended for their hard work.

All in all a rewarding day and nice to see some familiar faces while chatting to the volunteers.

Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway Day Trip

What better way to spend the day than a visit to Bo'ness and Kinneil railway.

Some lovely sunshine and relatively warm for the time of year too.

Not too early a start either as intending to spend the evening here for some night shots.

Covered a variety of locations and enjoyed the sun while it lasted.

Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway

Being over in that part of the country it's a no brainer to visit this lovely heritage railway line.

Pleased to see the 'Morayshire' in full steam today both on her departure, and arrival after her run to Kinneil and Birkhill.

The sun still shone and warm too. A pleasant day throughout.
