East Lancashire Railway Steam Gala 24 January 2009

24th January 2009

I paid a short visit to the East Lancashire Railway this morning, where it was grey and frosty - the sun only came out after I had to leave. A limited number of locos were present this time, mostly LMS and BR Standards with a couple of industrials. Hopefully the next gala will produce better weather and a stronger selection of locomotives.
