D1501 Heap Bridge 7 March 2010

D1501 passes the site of the quarry at Heap Bridge with the 2J66 10:56 Rawtenstall to Heywood service on 7 March 2010, during the East Lancashire Railway's Diesel Gala. The vegetation has recently been cleared at this location, but note how the tree on the right has been left as photographic 'prop'! The coaching stock is virtually correct for the loco's livery, although quite how many vehicles still carried carmine and cream colours in 1962 is debatable.
