The 2023 event began on Friday and runs until Sunday March 12. Visitors will be able to see three guest steam locomotives visiting from other heritage lines – including Leander and Lancashire Fusilier – as well as a full complement of ‘home’ engines working. There will also be shed tours running across the weekend and a goods train demonstration.
Yorkshire Post photographer James Hardisty captured the scenic activity down at the railway.
