The Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway give us a visit

Some History ;-
The Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway has been developed since 1979 on a reclaimed site on the south shore of the Firth of Forth and now welcomes thousands of visitors aboard nostalgic steam and heritage diesel trains and through the doors of Scotland’s largest railway museum every year. The Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway seems to be curiously little-known, even to many Scots, yet this is the longest heritage railway in the Scottish Lowlands. Combined with the adjacent Museum of Scottish Railways, I think it forms one of Scotland’s very best transport-related attractions. Steam trains run along a five-mile route between Bo’ness town centre and Manuel (with two little-used, intermediate stations), with views of tidal mudflats, rolling farmland and the wooded River Avon gorge. The route brings the old Slamannan and Borrowstounness branch line back to life - a passenger line which once connected with the rest of the UK network just west of Linlithgow, but closed in the early 20th century. The museum is excellent too, with three large exhibition halls showcasing engines, carriages and wagons from across Scottish space and time. Highlights include several restored LNER locomotives, a vintage carriage from the Glasgow Subway, a letter-sorting coach once used by the Royal Mail, and a new viewing gallery where you can see rolling stock under repair.

Another great insight as to what happens on your railway, always something to keep you busy. What’s happening with 37261? Is she a donor loco, or is she being lovingly restored?

John thank you for your comment 37261 is a restore
