D1041 Western Prince passes through the cutting at Burrs on 7 October 1990, whilst en-route from Ramsbottom to Bury, during the East Lancashire Railway's Diesel Weekend. The loco sports one of the earliest attempts to make diesel locomotives more visible to track workers. Before the adoption of half yellow, and later full yellow ends, this yellow buffer beam was tried. Several locos were painted in this style, with slight variation between the Swindon and Crewe built examples. |
