Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway
Filmed during Martin Creese's / 30742 Photo Charters recent excellent charter we see North Eastern Railway 1903 vintage railcar No. 3170 on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway on 16th February 2022. Originally Petrol-Electric, this 1903 vintage railcar was one of originally two that were first powered by Napier engines, then Wolseley but today is powered by a new Cummins diesel engine, so is technically a 'diesel' railcar. A wonderful survivor, it was used as a holiday home near Kirbymoorside in North Yorkshire for 70 years before being purchased in 2003 for restoration. A wonderful survivor and hopefully Martin Creese will do more 'modern' traction charters, despite this railcar pre-dating most preserved steam locomotives! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XEfKkkcw8M
