It joined five other engines ferrying people up and down the five-mile line between Keighley and Oxenhope on Saturday and Sunday. A railway spokesman said: "Pitchford Hall proved very popular. Unlike the other engines which were black, this was green and was very impressive with its beautiful name plate and smart brass-work." Enthusiasts' Weekends are held twice a year and attract several thousands of people each day. Anonymous Author. |
