P1050556 - 2021-08-06 - ELR - 60009 - A4 - Union of South Africa - At Heywood Station ready for the next trip
© 2021 George McVitie. All rights reserved.
A Photo from Day 7 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
A horrible wet day on the East Lancs Railway (ELR) where I went on a trip from Heywood to Rawtenstall and back.
Normally I would get out to see and photograph the run round at the far end of the line but it was so wet I just stayed in the carriage.
Here, at Heywood Station, 60009 "Union of South Africa" or Number 9, as it is often known as, is ready for the next journey to Rawtenstall.
60009 is a Nigel Gresley designed and Doncaster Works built for the LNER A4 Pacific Streak Locomotive 4-6-2 for work on the East Coast Main Line (ECML).
