East Lancashire Railway - backing on at Heywood
Southern Region Schools Class Repton has just run round its train and is now backing on for the return to Bury & Rawtenstall. This 4-4-0 was hauling the train without a banker or pilot engine and had difficulties restarting the train on the final rise into Bury Bolton Street Station. There was a brief slip at that point and the train had to set back a bit.
