The 10.30 to Rawtenstall

The 10.30 to Rawtenstall
A rare steam capture for me, here we see the 'Witherslack Hall' pulling mixed vintage carriages to its terminus from Heywood on the 'East Lancashire Railway' line: www.eastlancsrailway.org.uk

Built for the famous GWR around 1948, this 4-6-0 was mostly stationed at the Main GW Paddington Railway shed.
More info about this iconic engine: www.gcrailway.co.uk/the-railway/locomotives/6990-witherslack-hall

See PiP for close-up detail.
Worth viewing full screen. Enjoy

Thanks so much Annemarie. On reflection, I surprise myself on not visiting this railway line more often to get such pictures. Glad you like it. I hope you managed to see the PiP too. Regards, Herb

Glad you like both shots my friend. The closeup really spells it out but this one here is chocolate-box stuff.

Cheers, Herb

Such a beautiful scene Herb. I especially like the close-up in the PiP. To have a nice blue sky as a backdrop is a real bonus as well ;-) Regards, Rosa.

Very happy that you like both shots Rosa. Yes, rather unusual to have blue skies up here in Lancashire :) Breaking all the rules with the train through the middle but I liked the smoke trail and as you say, the rare blue sky.

Both main pic and PiP are superb Herb. I wonder if it feels homesick for its Wessex roots?

Quite possibly Andy. Glad you like both snaps taken seconds apart.
