During July lots of work has been going on on the railway. Due to the quantity of photos this month we have two photo galleries. On this first page we have:
1. Photos taken on the 20th Anniversary of the Railway opening (unfortunately it wasn't a running day).
2. Various trains, locos and Pacer units.
3. Some photos from Leyburn.
4. Some photos from Finghall.
5. Some photos from Leeming Bar.
6. A new sign goes up at Scruton.
7. Locos and DMUs in Leeming Bar yard.
8. Progress on the signal box being reconstructed at Constable Burton.
9. Work by the Fencing Team at Redmire.
10. Various jobs by the Direct Works Team.

There are more photos to see in page 2 of this month's photo gallery.

The chimney on our Victorian signal box being reconstructed at Constable Burton is now completed, and the roof almost fully slated! The ground floor will be panelled once the scaffold is down. It’s beginning to look the part in its 1937 LNER colour scheme. Just a couple more windows to glaze now! (--/07/2024)
