Celebrating 125 years of Volk's Electric Railway. "The World's oldest operating electric railway" Due to poor weather the original late night running was postponed until the 23rd August. Fortunately the weather was very kind to us on that day and the evening went very well - here are a few pictures for those that missed a great event.
