Whitby and Moors Excursion

Whitby Moors

Double-headed by an Ivatt 3MT 2-6-2T number 41265, a Whitby and Moors Excursion rounds the reverse curve at Fen bog, a few miles South of Goathland (near Levisham), a long train from the West Riding requiring assistance up the gradients out of Levisham. The second loco is probably a B1. This location is also close to Fylingdales moor, sitting roughly below the radar station.

Whitby, West Cliff Station

Whitby West Cliff Station – very quiet, only two carriages on the train.  An ex-LMS Fairburn 4MT 2-6-4T, not obviously in steam from this photo, but crewed up ready for the Saltburn leg of the trip.

Thanks to Mark Thompson for the information about the guards van and locomotive.
