37706 Conidae passes Plumpton Junction on 25 April 1992 with the 2J90 13:10 Barrow-in-Furness to Manchester Victoria service. The train is packed with enthusiasts enjoying the rare traction, on what was normally a DMU turn. This was one of a number of loco hauled substitutions in connection with the Longsight 150 event. The monument on the hill was constructed in 1850 in memory of Sir John Barrow, one of the founders of the Royal Geographic Society. In 1992 the truncated remains of the Bardsea branch was still in use to serve a chemical works, as can be see by the tanks in the sidings. There is also a remnant from when there was once a double junction here. The tall post in the bushes behind the loco is a signal post for the Lakeside branch (closed in 1967).
