Description
Due to the hot and dry weather in May, Bo'ness Railway is using diesel locomotives instead of steam locomotives to operate train services, as steam locomotives are at risk of starting lineside fires. This temporary switch is in place to ensure safe operations, especially given the increased fire risk. I would appreciate it if you could support my local heritage railway, the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, and if you are based anywhere in the world, please support your preservation railway societies because they all need your kind support.
