Steam on the Incline..
Ex-WD / LNER J94 68012 wreathed in smoke and steam, on the Hopton Incline near Middleton Top, in the mid-60s..
The loco was withdrawn when the line closed in 1967 and scrapped soon after that. There is a similar WD Austerity loco bearing the number today, but it is not the original..
Today, part of the trackbed is the 'High Peak Trail'..
Restored from an over-exposed faded unfocussed blue-colour-shifted original..
Original slide - photographer unknown
