Rush Hour 2013
Friday 29 March
The first day of events was sure to please. As well as the three train service, provided by Loch, G.H. Wood and Hutchinson, both Cale and Fenella were to appear on specials during the day. In the morning 8 Fenella hauled runner F57, the well wagon, and hopper F70. Later in the day 15 Caledonia also appeared for the Peel Line staged photography.
Saturday 30 March
This was to be the most action packed day of the event, originally billed to have 6 locos in steam, 5 made it out in the end with Kissack unavailable. The normal timetable was dropped allowing plenty of extra journeys to be made. 8 Fenella was out with the 3 saloons, Caledonia was out with the MNR Train again, and 12 Hutchinson hauled a mixed train including the open wagons.
Sunday 31 March
During the evening a talk was held by Ian Longworth in the workshops in Douglas.
