B72 Moves For the First Time in 37 Years!

TICKETS TO THE 2024 OPEN DAYS - On July 4th 2023, another major milestone was reached in the restoration of diesel-electric locomotive B72, when the locomotive moved under its own power for the first time since 1986. The locomotive moved itself outside the workshops for testing along 6 road. Expectedly a few minor adjustments were made to the locomotive throughout the day, but all in all the day was successful. This milestone could not have been reached without the help of many dedicated Steamrail volunteers over this period of time. Many thanks to all those involved either past or present with the restoration of the locomotive. SEE B72 AT THE 2024 OPEN DAYS - We are also excited to announce that B72 will be in operation at the 2024 Open Days! See the locomotive’s first public appearance since reactivation, an event not to be missed! TICKETS AND MORE INFO -
