Holcombe Brook
Last weekend of passenger services at Holcombe Brook sees enthusiasts capturing the scene but few ordinary passengers. This interesting view also shows the signal box, goods shed, yard crane and a mineral wagon on elevated coal drops. 50655 stands in the platform and I have been reminded that these humble branch line duties were a far cry from the express trains the 2-4-2 tanks were built for. They were fitted with two scoops to use water troughs in either direction on the L&YR main lines.
