The Island was awash with pink-ness today as Islanders showed their support for Wear It Pink Day.
Locomotives and staff at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway were also keen to join in the fun as shown here by Alan Brindley (left) and Tony French, donning rather natty pink overalls for the day.
Not to be left out, the duty steam locomotive (Hunslet Austerity saddle tank locomotive No.92 ‘Waggoner’) was suitably adorned with plenty of pink ribbons and bows, plus special pink ‘head-code’ discs.
The ticket clerk, signalman, guard, platform staff, catering team, office and shop staff all joined in and wore something pink for the day.
“The Isle of Wight Steam Railway was keen to support the ‘Isle of Pink’ initiative here on the Island, so it seemed appropriate to do something a bit different and help boost the profile of this very important campaign,” said Railway Chairman, Steve Oates. “Having our loco crew dressed in pink fitted the bill perfectly!”
