Ketton Cement Works
Trials recently took place at Ketton Cement Works aimed at restoring steam traction to the works using 1940s built 0-4-0 saddle tank 'Sir Thomas Royden'. Unfortunately Thomas was only able to haul two loaded powder wagons with the assistance of a diesel shunter 08622. No further trials are planned...
</br>To be serious, the 08 was actually used to haul BLS members around the works on Sunday 7th June, while the kettle had been used for shorter trips on a public Open Day on Saturday 6th. Good to see a purely industrial railway still in use.
