Buxton bound

45407 and 44871 on the Buxton Spa Express digging into the climb after being stopped at Norbury Crossing to allow the scheduled dmu stopping service to get far enough ahead not to cause problems later on. This view is from the bridge that once carried the Macclesfield Bollington and Marple Railway over the top of the LNWR line at Middlewood Station. The weather forecast said fair - it was raining!

Great shot. I remember taking a ride from High Lane (which was a fair walk from Middlewood station) to Macclesfield in 1969 just before the line closed. No sights like this though!

Looks good. The rain appears to have enhanced the exhaust.
