PftP – Day four and the clear up begins!
19th April 2010
Well, its all over now. Probably one of Beamish’s biggest ever events, certainly the biggest transport themed one and it seems to have been a resounding success. The weather was superb and held until Sunday afternoon when light rain set in. Operationally things went very well with only a couple of delays caused by the need for emergency services to attend – things which can (and do!) happen on any day of the year. Here is a last selection of photos from me of the event, but I will add a selection taken by Dave Hewitt in the next post.
Below: ‘How to dismantle a narrow gauge railway’ (title borrowed and adjusted from the U2 album!) – the steps involved in clearing the 2 foot gauge line up, within an hour! The track was then stacked onto flat wagons and rolled into the shed – the trainset is back in its box. Until next time…!!!
