Hill Top

Train approaching Ingrow West Seen from the northern end of the platform at Ingrow West Station, the final steam-hauled service of the day arrives from Keighley. It is pulled by locomotive No. 45212, an LMS 'Black 5' dating from 1935. Although it is owned by, and based at, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, this engine has another part-time job, often operating on the West Highland Line in Scotland, pulling the 'Jacobite' train, beloved of Harry Potter fans. It was due to return there after undergoing regular maintenance in Yorkshire.
