LINCOLNSHIRE Coast Light Railway (LCLR) marked the 60th anniversary of its original opening by re-creating scenes on August 27 that had been photographed on that date in 1960.
The original LCLR served a holiday camp and beach at Humberston, near Cleethorpes, and on its August 27, 1960, opening laid claim to being the first heritage railway in the world to be built by enthusiasts, as distinct from being a line revived by preservationists.
The railway carried two million passengers before it closed in 1985.
Following a lengthy period of storage at Burgh-le-Marsh the locos, stock and equipment were relocated to Skegness Water Leisure Park, where the revived LCLR opened in 2009.
Original scenes from the opening day of the line between North Sea Lane station and Humberston Beach were re-created at Skegness using the same locomotive and one of the early carriages.
