Crewe station and 44932 emerged
from platform 12 after taking on water, having arrived from Carnforth
earlier that morning. 09/03/2012
The Stanier class 5 drew
up to the signal in a cloud of smoke before continuing out of
the station. It then reversed into bay platform 7. 09/03/2012
Clearing the platform and
access to water was necessary because the next arrivals took
their place in platform 12. 5043 "Earl of Mount Edgcumbe"
led 6201 "Princess Elizabeth" to the
watering point. 09/03/2012
After quenching their thirst
the two locomotives left to head North, providing the many photographers
with an impressive display of smoke and steam. Thankfully there
were no drain cocks open to spoil the fun! 09/03/2012
67025 "Western Star"
drew in with an array of wagons, presumably from Stoke-on-Trent.

Finally, 44932 left en route
for Southall, this time the cocks were open! 09/03/2012

Voyager heads South. 01/03/2012
Closely followed by 66414

Then the reason for the visit,
70013 "Oliver Cromwell" was running light
from Carnforth to Southall. 01/03/2012
An unidentified Pendolino
- they simply go too fast to be recognised! 01/03/2012
