The Mid Norfolk Railway Diesel Gala

Sunday, 21st March, 2004

The Mid Norfolk railway held their third annual Diesel Gala on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st March 2004. We managed to visit on the Sunday. A day of very changeable weather. A quite different railway in my opinion, not (that I noticed) a steam engine in sight. Plenty of multiple units to be seen and some visiting traction from Freightliner and Cotswold Rail in the shape of 47847 and 47316 respectively.

		With a bit of clag 47316 pulls out of the holding sidings

		Visiting 47316 Cam Peak hauls resident 50019 on the 15:00 Dereham to Wymondham service just after departure.
