A er more than a year of continuous service, tractor 16302 (Edward Fort) has been withdrawn for essential maintenance. Tractor 16307 (Gerald Yorke) was placed back into service. Both iconic tractor units have served the Hythe Pier Railway since 1922 and are the workhorses of the world’s “oldest operating pier train, which has continually served the public”. Gerald Yorke is so named to honour the contribution of the railway engineer who oversaw the installation and early operation of the Hythe Pier Railway, whilst Edward Fort honours the late Edward Fort, who whilst chairman of the Beaulieu Beaufort Foundation authorised donations from the charitable trust to the Hythe Pier Heritage Association programme of the restoration of the railway. A 1977 newspaper article estimated the two tractor units had between them “rattling” along the pier over a halfmillion miles. Just under 50 years later, that would equate to over a million miles; two times to the moon and back.
