Come & join us at Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway for Bonnie Dundee’s 125th Anniversary to celebrate the long serving locomotive, Bonnie Dundee.
She has been pulling trains from 1901 after she arrived at Dundee Gasworks. She has worked throughout both world wars and was saved from scrap before going to Ravenglass & Eskdale railway.
She will be pulling trains alongside Lucy-Lou and will take part in doubleheaders on certain trains with her throughout the day.
