The Caledonian Railway’s Sulzer Symphony diesel running weekend returns for 2025 on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of August! Celebrate all things diesel at the Caledonian Railway with Sulzer’s taking the main stage with some extra’s too! Visitors can expect three days of exclusive intensive diesel running with the sights, sounds and smells of our diesel locomotives powering through the Strathmore countryside. There will be something for everyone.
2025 is special year for us as it marks the 30th anniversary of the return to service of one the railway’s flagship diesel locomotives, Class 26 D5314. The locomotive was saved from the scrapyard in 1992 with major engine damage. After a thorough restoration by volunteers it returned to service in August 1995! Ever since then it has been one of the backbones of the railway’s operation by supporting events, engineering projects and most importantly entertaining visitors.
