A northbound freight hauled by 8F 2-8-0 no 48631 approaching Wigan North Western on 25 November 1967 (thought to be the Winnington - Whitehaven ICI train). The primary reason for the gathering of photographers in the background is the MRTS Mancunian special hauled by 60019 'Bittern' which called that day with a railtour from Leeds City. See image 30774
