45407 on The Cotton Mill Express - 31/1/09

45407 with the first CME of 2009 seen at Ashton Moss North Junction, approaching Copy Pit and at Sough Summit. Unfortunately steam was shut off at Sough right on the summit so the train just drifts past the camera. A strong wind was taking the sound away from the microphone for all shots apart from the one at Copy Pit.

Very very nice, thanks a lot.

Yes it is.

I'm surprised that they're still there as they've got rid of the semaphores from Stalybridge, Mossley and Greenfield over the last few years as they've modified the signalling. Even the signal box has gone at Greenfield.

I suspect they won't be there for much longer.

Thank you, its nice to see there are still some pieces of 'old railway' about such as Ashton.

Good filming Austin. She looked like she was really working it up to Copy Pit.

Ashton's probably one of the last with the semaphores and signal box which adds a little authenticity to the film. 5*

Thanks very much Mark, I would have been in trouble at Copy Pit had the sun been stronger but just about got away with it I think. Found my way to Sough thanks to the directions you kindly gave me a while ago. I left the shot in as a record of the day but agree it possibly should have been left out...Austin
