- On Thursday 9th March I visited the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for their first day of their Steam Gala 2023. It was a very snowy wintry day but added to the atmosphere.

Thumbnail would make a great Christmas card.

Excellent footage. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow..icy conditions....very atmospheric look...I was waiting for a story to unfold
I was hoping to visit the other days to document the change over the 4 days but could only managed the one. Thanks for watching.
Awsome video
Thank you. Shame we didn't have snow this year too.

Very evocative & very beautiful.

Thank you for sharing. Wow! Love Janet x a Yorkshire lass. Born in Keighley 1954
You are welcome Janet and thanks for watching:-)
I remember taken my children on the Santa Specials in 1982 or 1983.
Real men really have simple tastes...We can watch videos like these for hours & still want more...❤❤👍
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Hello, thank you for your comment and for watching :)
There's nothing to beat the sight and smell of a steam locomotive.
I agree Gordon, especially first thing in the morning on a Gala day. :)
What a great scenery! Snow and old trains, how I would have loved to have been there
What a trimendous video, with all that snowy weather around, so thanks very much for those who made this great video 👍👍 l say well done ✅
Hi John thanks for watching and your comment. The team at the KWVR managed to put on a good sure especially in the weather :)
There is something about seeing steam locomotives in a snowy landscape, It's Heaven but on Earth
I agree, also I'm the UK it can be rare for steam and snow at the same time :-)
nice
Thank you :)
Brilliant photography, made more atmospheric with the snow and lifted the steam. I was there on Thursday and Sunday, Thurs was even more special as the afternoon the snow stopped and the sun came out adding the the effects. Everyone did an excellent job at the WVR, a memorable gala.
Hi Chris thanks for watching and your comment. The snow certainly made this years Steam Gala one to remember. :). Just wish I was free to visit on another day over the weekend. Maybe next year.
I am lost for words - well except two - Absolutely Beautiful !
Hello thank you for watching and your comment :)
Thomas the tank in real life awesome
Some great videos there. Your locations were excellent. The best I have seen.
Hello Keith, thanks for watching and your comment appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
The snow makes it look very old school. If you made it B/W or Sepia, it would look exactly like the 1950s.
I've played about with some as BW and will have a try with Sepia :). Thanks for watching and your comment.
Nice video of the Steam Gala, in snow :)
Hi Simon thanks for watching and your comment :)
A delightful find on UA-cam this morning , the stills are superb and enviable

All the best from Dublin

Hi Andrew thank you for watching and you're comment. Appreciated :-)
Beautiful historical technique, fabulous photos.
Hi Petr, thank you for watching and your comment. All the best :)
For those of us living in the US, where the weather right now feels more like summer, this was a joy to watch, plus it's in one of my favorite parts of England. Thank you!
Hi Brian thank you for watching and your comment. Hopefully I will visit again when the USA Transportation train is running up and down the line again.
Wow how fortunate you are to have these lively trains to ride upon.
Thank you
God bless
I admit we do seem to be lucky with all the people making the magic happen :). Thanks for watching.
Reminds me of going on holiday when I was a child in the 50s and early 60s. We went from Leeds to Anglesey and from Bradford to Kings Cross, invariably by steam train. The Kings Cross service was the Yorkshire Pullman - getting the holiday off to a good start with lunch on the train Wonderful days.
Paintings come to life 😮
That brought me back 50 years when I used to walk the line banging in the keys and tightening the fish plates.
A tough job but someone has to have the honour of the job :-). Thanks for watching and your comment.
The snow adds to the atmosphere! 😜👍
Hi Bob I agree, one Gala to remember weather wise :)
Great filming and capture of the atmosphere. I imagine that your work clothes will pick up a particularly dense aroma after the day's work is done. Tough job but someone's gotta do it.
Hello thanks for watching and you're comment. Oh yes the smell was in my nostrils for ages :-).
Be nice to see a loco named after Bernard Cribbins.
Fantastic - and the stills are amazing. Thanks for sharing
Hello, thanks for watching and your comment, appreciate it :)
Fantastic winter steam scenes at the Gala and very nice photographs included.
Hello thanks for watching and your comment. Certainly a Gala to remember. :)
Fantastic atmosphere ! Well done!
Hello thank you for watching and your comment :-).
Beautiful landscapes, locomotives - all adding to the period atmosphere of better, bygone days.
Hello thanks for watching and your comment. It certainly is and the snow made it even more beautiful.
Yes, it did - Thank you !
Those scenes are reminiscent of years long gone sadly.
It would be nice to go back in time to the golden age of steam. At least the staff at these railways keep it alive for future generations. Thanks for watching and your comment :).
@@railway_photographer Wouldn't it?
Can't remember where I got it, (I think a friend gave it to me) but I have a tea towel with all these stations (and a map of the line) on it. I'm looking at it now as I'm watching your video. Well done for sharing this.
You're very welcome Gordon thanks for the comments and watching :)
This engine crew must be brave souls as I did not see a cab enclosure for them.
Fabulous photography but always told, a fireman who lift the lid (blow off) needs to go back to school.
Henry in the Snow
The Railway Children 1970.
A film I have yet to watch which is on my watch list. :)
You're welcome.
Fantastic weather for a winter gala. Only why didnt they put the L&Y carriages behind the L&Y loco. Look like someone wasnt thinking.......
Couldn't have asked for better weather :). With all the snow and running about I never noticed the coaches.
I can tell you from experience it wasn't a bit romantic in the early 60s shoveling coal into a clapped out steamer all night. These engines must be a pleasure to drive and fire as they look in tip top condition. I did drive a class 31 named Keighley and Worth Valley Railway a couple of trips over this line on naming day. Anyone know if the nameplates survived?
Where was this video taken?
Hello it was up and down the Keighley Worth Valley Railway in West Yorkshire. It starts just north of Bradford and runs further out into West Yorkshire. Shot along route at Oakworth, Oxenhope and some footage at Keighley.
Was that old photo to do with the great freeze of 1962-63, which I well Remember or the film the Railway Children the Remake again I Remember
That's all wasted steam blowing out, but when you need to put on a show, you need to have full steam available.
