At present, most trains on the Churnet Valley Railway reverse back to Cheddleton here at Leekbrook Junction. The locomotive has detached from the front of the passenger train and is backing towards the tunnel (behind the camera) in order to recouple to the back of the train. It will then be hauled through the tunnel to Cheddleton, Consall Forge, and Kingsley and Froghall. Image] Image] Image]
