Very sad news

With great regret steam driver/fireman and diesel driver Paul Kane collapsed and died while firing A4 60019 from York to Kings Cross on Saturday night.

Paul was a Carlisle man from the days of steam who I spent a good deal of time with. His knowledge, laughter and advise will be greatly missed.

RIP Paul. The trip to mallaig will never be the same....

A sad day for the steam world. May he rest in peace and my condolences go to friends, collegues and family.

May I ask if he was the regular fireman for the Jacobite?

No sfe, he was one of the 2 regular drivers of the jacobite, although he did love firing - and was extremly good at it to.

As I said, the trip to mallaig will never be the same, nor will the singing of 'whos afraid of beasdale bank' after succesfully reaching the summit!!!
