taken 7 years ago, near to Bury, England
Awaiting departure from Bury Bolton Street
Just a couple of minutes before departure time and this East Lancashire Railway train 'has the road' for a trip to Rawtenstall. The locomotive, an LMS type known as a 'Hughes Crab', is immaculate in its crimson lake livery.
East Lancashire Railway (ELR)
The East Lancashire Railway is a steam preservation line , which runs along the Irwell valley from Heywood to Rawtenstall. The original line closed in 1972 and the ELR opened in 1991.
