Bill Harvey

From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group

Bill Harvey was a steam loco. engineeer who had spent his working life with the LNER, Nigerian Railways and BR and was a good friend of Allan Garraway. Together they had inspected the FR in 1951, and then at frequent intervals when the two of them had been working at Pendre until, on 20th September 1954, they both reported to Morris Jones at Boston Lodge. Within two days Bill had the Simplex tractor working, and two carriages were hauled over to Harbour to show the local press that the FR was back in business.

Bill's obituary appeared in FRM-145-09.
