Carnforth & Warrington Bank Quay 06/08/11

August 06th 2011. A trip up to Carnforth to take a look at the 'Heritage Traction' and stored locomotives at West Coast Railways. Whilst there a couple of steam powered tours where booked to pass. Here's a couple of clips from a wet day on the North West Coast. Due to a crowded platform I was unable to use a tripod so things got a bit shakey. While waiting for a connection home 59205 passes Warrington BQ with loaded coal.
West Coast Railway Company (Steamtown): Coaching Stock, 37668, 47768, 33030, 20314, 20311, 37214, 47772.
48151 1Z32 Wolverhampton - Ravenglass (The Lakelander) &
45305 1Z42 Liverpool Lime Street - Carlisle (Cumbrian Mountain Express) side by side on Carnforth D&UGL.
20308/20309 6K73 Sellafield - Crewe CLS
59205 6F74 Liverpool Bulk Terminal - Fiddlers Ferry PS

Big thanks to Runcorn Sprog & Geoff Tibble for an excellent trip after a very forgettable week :)
