Beware of the steam trains
....as the increasingly outdated crossing sign denotes!
The East Lancs Champion railtour with 40145 is seen passing St Erth signal box on 16th May 2010 as part of the 1Z52 0932 St Ives to Penzance leg of the tour (a tour that will be very difficult to run again in daylight on the various Cornish branch lines).
Bringing up the rear was D1015, and the two locos took turns in leading the train throughout the event.
A memorable tour along the lines of the 3 day trip to Scotland on '145 and one I'm very glad I did - and only 13 years ago, but a lifetime compared to how tours are managed currently.
A quick check of more recent photos (2019) shows that the steam train sign is still present!
