On Tuesday some of the pupils from Classes M and O went to the Bo’ness Steam Railway to find out more about steam power and trains. The steam train was very different to the usual electric or diesel trains. It was very smelly and and moved slower.

In the museam we learned about how steam work, who invented them and where. We even had a go at driving a steam train and working the signal box. It’s a very tricky and tiring job.

we would highly recommend the Bo’ness Steam Railway for a family day out!
