Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway traditionally run "Black Bun specials" on the days after Christmas, and these usually run into the first steam railway operations of the new year.
This video shows Standard 4 tank No 80105 starting the Run-Round at Birkhill having pulled us up from Bo'ness. Snow is prominent and it was very cold, so the steam effects are beautiful.
B&KR services have now extended to Manuel, so this run was one of the last to run under the old operating processes. Services will no longer terminate at Birkhill from March 2010 onwards.
See http://www.srps.org.uk/ for more information on B&KR and its operations.
Good shots!
