The Vintage carriages Trust formally opened their new display on 16th May, to mark the 60th Anniversary of the closure of the Great Northern line from Keighley, via Queensbury, to Bradford and Halifax.
Besides their two Great Northern carriages, BCL 2856 of 1898, and BT 589 of 1888, and their wall mounted collection of cast iron signs, the Trust has prepared a cabinet display, in partnership with local enthusiasts, led by Mark Neale, reflecting, through smaller exhibits, the range of services provided by the Great Northern, and its contribution to our locality.
The exhibition will be available to visitors until September, including access to the carriage in the workshop when VCT staff are present. Further information may be found on www.lostrailwayswestyorkshire.co.uk or www.kwvr.co.uk.
