LCLR Reborn (Part Two)

As mentioned previously in this blog, today was the official reopening of the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway at the Water Leisure Park, Ingoldmells. Ex-WD diesel "Major" provided regular trips along the relaid track hauling one of the Ashover carriages. LEYTR was there to capture the occasion in photographs and video (please click on any photo for a larger version).

The locomotive wore a special commemorative headboard.

The present "end of the line" is alongside the airstrip. As yet no station has been built here although it is possible the the line may be extended beyond this point in the distant future.
