Buxworth Curve, Railfreight 37671 & 37686 (Collyhurst Street - Great Rocks) 28/10/87.
To round off a good day in the Derbyshire Peak District we headed to Buxworth curve for the returning Collyhurst Street … only one problem, on arrival I realised I had run out of film!
Off I sped to Chinley village and the one chemist in town was open with one roll of 24 exposure Kodachrome 64 gathering dust on the shelf, "I will take that thanks" and back to my mate Ian Fisher who said that he had heard it adding to the tension!
Well, one of my quickest film changes ever ensued and yes he had heard it as the unmistakable roar of 2x37's built to a crescendo. One shot on my trusty Canon F1 and we had recorded it for posterity … Happy Days.
