Steam on the East Lancashire Railway
The East Lancashire Railway is a 20km long heritage railway based in Bury, Greater Manchester, in the North West of England. The line runs north from Bury to Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall through the picturesque Irwell valley, and East from Bury to the industrial town of Heywood.
During this series we visit the line several times between 2019 & 2022 for a number of special steam events. In addition to the regular resident fleet of locomotives, there are plenty of visiting locos ranging from large LMS 4-6-0 No 46100 'Royal Scot' to Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T No 419. Plus we see the popular LNER A4 pacific No 60009 'Union of South Africa' on its final day in traffic, including rare footage of its last ever train before retirement for static display.
