Bo'ness Steam, Steel, Road and Rail 2026

The Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway hosted a new gala this year! It consisted of steam, diesel and a display of vintage cars. The main highlight of the event was visiting locomotive 60163 'Tornado' from the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust. The event saw Tornado paired with the Bo'ness home fleet on many trains. I aimed to capture as much as I could over the Saturday and the Sunday. The last train of the gala was a triple steam header, though was originally meant to be quadruple headed with 37025 in the consist. An unfortunate failure on 37025 resulted in it being kept in the diesel shed.

The event saw a variety of locomotives running, such as:
37025 'Inverness TMD', 26038 'Tom Clift', 15189 'Caley' Tank, Coltness Iron Company No.1 'Lord Roberts', Class 117 DMU, and visiting A1 Peppercorn 60163 'Tornado'.

Lineside locations featured include:
Bo'ness Station, Bo'ness Station Bridge, Bo'ness Harbour, Bo'ness Foreshore, Valve House Crossing, Kinneil Nature Reserve, Kinneil East Crossing, Kinneil Halt, Kinneil West Crossing, Kinneil Field, and the incline after Snab Brae.

Recorded on the 10th and 11th of October, 2026.
