90th Birthday Party For Scarborough's North Bay Railway

All four engines will be running today.

Scarborough's North Bay Railway is celebrating it's 90th birthday this weekend.

The actual birthday was back in May but Steve Johnson from the railway says COVID restrictions at the time made having a celebration difficult.

There are a range of special activities taking place across the weekend. Steve says the team are pulling out all the stops to get all the railways engines involved in the celebrations.

The attraction opened in 1931 and has been a favourite with visitors and locals ever since. The first service ran at 2pm on May 24th 1931.

The very first day the railway operated was caught on film back in 1931.
