Here is the photo album for British Railways No. 41241, a 2-6-2T located in Haworth, Yorkshire. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

Photographed when running in correct British Railways lined black livery - in contrast to the red paint applied in the early days of the Worth Valley Railway, a colour scheme revived for the line's anniversary celebrations.

In 1970, 41241 and 30072 haul a Santa Special out of Keighley station.

On the same train the two locos lift the train round the curve out of Keighley and tackle the climb to Oxenhope.

Head on view of the loco in Haworth yard, 1973.

June 29th 2018 saw the 50th Anniversary of the re-opening of the railway from Keighley to Oxenhope. A celebratory re-enactment train ran with the same loco in the same paint scheme leaving Keighley at 2.30pm. Here's the train approaching Ingrow in glorious weather.

Another shot of the train approaching Ingrow.

A great photo of the 50th Anniversary train with 41241 in charge. Headboard, Union flags and Express Passenger headcode says it all!

One from the early days of the Worth Valley Railway, 41241 is pictured hauling the Waggon und Maschinenbau railbus at Keighley in 1964.
