Aftermath
In December 2015 Storm Desmond, forced the closure of the WCML here at Caldew Junction where the line was submerged under more than 2 metres of water. 66201 heads 4M00, the 0702 Mossend - Clitheroe cement tanks past a car park being cleared of the muddy silt left behind by the flood waters. On the left of the picture (behind the NR white vans) the river Caldew can be seen, dropping to more normal levels. The Caldew passes under the line just beyond the rear of the train prior to its confluence with the River Eden, which then passes once again below the railway at Etterby.
