steam railway and the local fire aftermath

It's always great to visit my local Heritage The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway where I can enjoy watching and videoing, but on this particular day the Fire services and Police were present opposite the railway on union street Around 10.30pm on Friday, December 13, 2024 they were called to a reported fire at a block of newly built flats on Commissioner Street, Bo’ness the fire has caused extensive damage to the property fire services and police are investigating the cause of the fire if it was deliberate .

It's sad that the new flats caught fire. Hopefully, police will determine what happened.

James thanks for your comment yes it was really awful to see the flats

So, why did the train come a standstill as it left the station, Eck?

[@ecksfilesbonyuk8]

Jim yes the train did slow down almost to a standstill but I'm not sure why sorry
