        I observed the following train movements from the Iron Bridge near the viaduct in Accrington on the East Lancashire Line on warm but cloudy 10th of June 2025.

        The 2K67 passenger service running from Blackburn to Headbolt Lane (Merseyside) was operated by Northern Class 150 Diesel Multiple Units numbers 150101 and 150103.

        The 6U33 Engineers service running from Carnforth Bottom End Siding to Guide Bridge B Side Sidings was operated by an unknown Network Rail Stone Ballast Blower.

            @nostalgia I bet your man cave is full of memorabilia and bits of locomotives that you brought home in your pocket.

              @Mike_Ashworth, I wish! Tripping over name plates and smoke box numbers in the dark! I saw not one flash light back then! Darn fitters! Twelve detonators and two red flags in tube? No torch though if it dark! Dont think invented back then? Drivers light for oiling was a flaming parafin lamp! Blessed if i remember their name now? Doh! A wick in parafin lamp? Smoked like hell! (They did have a name) You were allowed two rusties and one cloth on Southern region!
