This is looking backwards (north-east) towards Cauldon Lowe from near the junction. The train is being pulled on its return to Froghall by the diesel unit which helped the small green Polish steam locomotive haul it up the gradient to Ipstones by pushing from the rear. The line is currently being used as far as the former Ipstones Station by the Churnet Valley Railway Company, but is currently owned by the Moorland and City Railways Company, with active plans to reopen lines as far as Leek and Stoke (via Endon), and agreements are likely that CVR will have access to all of its tracks.
