Bo'ness railway trying to survive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Since the Covid-19 outbreak like all areas of life, the museum and tourist railways have suffered greatly as they all depend mainly on visitors to survive.My local railway preservation society The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway are no exception with funds low they still try to keep various railway projects going with the help from small dedicated department groups of society members .... so till we all meet again take care and stay safe.

    Live just across from the Corbie Inn, moving away soon and sorely missing the trains passing my house, even at my age I still stop what I'm doing and rush to the window when a train passes. Hopefully see B&K Trains passing sooner rather than later, it's sad seeing the line so empty.

    As a member of a similar size railway like this, it’s good to see more of the volunteers carrying on. Incidentally, around 3:00 there’s a good demonstration of using proper PPE, contrary to a lot of junk that’s been sold to the general public that doesn’t work! Whilst not in a position to comment on the funds in detail, it might be that some of the well known societies are more vulnerable to the lack of cash from visitors, compared with others, especially those that have some paid staff as well as volunteers.

    Thank you for posting these scenes. It gives me hope that one day soon we at our tourist railroad here in Ontario Canada will once again be able to provide train rides with our vintage equipment. Port Stanley Terminal Rail.

    Nice to see work going on in these hard times, while there are people out there willing to keep this going, there is a future, a brighter future post covid.

    Good to see this, and yes mother nature will soon take over if you can't get the grass cut and the weed killing done, and a nice tidy site is good for everyone's ego.

    A couple of 37s, a 57 and DBSO came up from Bo'ness this morning. Doing work on DRS locos must bring in some money?

    “Grass Cutting temporarily put on hold”? I’ll bet that was one of Nicola’s ‘brilliant ideas’?
