The driver was Frank Cannon, a railway man of 30 years standing. Railway police were also aboard to ensure safety, while fog detonators were exploded.
Between Calne and Black Dog Halt, 102 fog detonators were exploded - one for each year this branch line had been in operation.
After celebrations, the train that made this journey was put into the passenger sidings at the Chippenham station.
