Busy season for Caledonia
After returning to service at the beginning of the year Caledonia has seen plenty of use since the start of the season, given that in the past the loco was a rare performer, 2013 must be amoungst the busiest years for Cale. As expected the loco has been the norm for driver experience days, but it has also appeared to be first choice for specials, and has been used on multiple occasions in service based at both Port Erin and Douglas. Cale was used on the Rail Ale Specials on 3rd/4th May, as well being used in service the week before. The engine has also performed in service, during July, first from Douglas at the start of the month, but then also as Port Erin loco at the end of the month.
