Operation
The Ocean Beach Railway has traditionally operated a summer schedule with services every Sunday. In 2006, the OBR commenced operating a reduced winter schedule, featuring services on the last Sunday of every month. The society also runs a popular 'Friends of Thomas' weekend once a year. Faces are placed on engines in the Thomas the Tank engine style. Trains are operated by a mix of steam and diesel locomotives. Currently A67, the Kerr Stuart and DSA 252 are used. Most restoration work takes place on Saturdays and visitors are welcome to view the workshops and restoration work in progress.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
