CVR Cauldon Lowe re-opening Gala weekend

[Baz]

The big event for The Churnet Valley Railway, in association with MCR (Moorland and City Railways) when the mothballed branch line to Cauldon Lowe was reopened this weekend (13/14 Nov 2010) with a spectacular Steam Gala with visiting locos such as 71000 'Duke of Gloucester', 34028 'Eddystone', 44767 Black Five 'George Stephenson' and 8F 8624. Plus while not actually steaming, Prairie Tank 5199 was also seen having a tow round the line too.

Pictures taken on both days, with 'funny' weather for photography, but still.... :-)
