28th June 1998

Merehead Open Day - 75th Anniversary: Double 9Fs! As part of the celebrations several demonstration freight trains were run for the audience. This had to be the highlight. BR 9F 2-10-0 nos. 92212 and 92203 "Black Prince" team up to haul a rake of loaded Foster Yeoman bogie hopper wagons creating a sight unlikely to be repeated again. "Black Prince" was based on the East Somerset Railway, so had just a short trip to make for the open day.
