DFR '200th Anniversary Celebration' - Saturday 13th June 2009 2009 marks the 200th year that a Bill was signed by Parliament to allow the Lydney & Lidbrook Railway to be built on the 10th June 1809. The following year then saw the company change its name to the 'Severn & Wye Railway & Canal', which the DFR was once part of. To celebrate this landmark, the Dean Forest Railway held a gala using three branchline engines. Originally it had been planned for GWR 'Small Prairie' number 5521, who has been in Poland since April 2007, to star, but when the NRM asked her owner, Bill Parker, for the locomotive not to leave York another engine had to be sourced. Bill was disappointed as well as many DFR volunteers, so tried his best to get a NRM loco to the Friendly Forest Line. The Result was vintage LSWR 2-4-0WT 'Beattie Well Tank' number 30587, normally based on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. The engine ran alongside resident BR(W) 0-6-0PT Pannier Tank number 9681 and new resident BR 0-6-0DH Class 14 Diesel 'Teddy Bear' number D9521, who was based at the now closed Barry Island Railway in South Wales up until January this year. The engines shared duties with the Beattie Well Tank mainly hauling GWR Autocoach 178, but for one round trip teamed up with 9681 for a double headed return run. The Pannier was mainly hauling a set of Mk1 coaches but did run with the demo freight train, made up of 'Dogfish' wagons that ran on the line taking ballast from Whitecliff Quary. D9521 hauled this mainly as 'Teddy Bears' where a common site in the 60s on the Severn & Wye line on these trains. It was a great day out and nice to see two steam engines working hard on the DFR. Trains seemed pretty full with families and many enthusiasts. Thanks to the lads (GJDobbzy, theonlyadsrulz, jamielw143 & jakeyboygen) who made this day possible. Next year a big gala is in order to celebrate 200 years of the S&W 'proper'.
