Ex LMS 8F no 48151 comes to a halt at the signal protecting Farington Curve Jct around 8 minutes early on 3 December 2017 whilst working the first of WCRC's three Santa Specials for 2017. The train had started in Lancaster and ran via Carnforth, Hellifield and Blackburn before returning to Lancaster and Carnforth. 47804 was on the back of the train, possibly to ensure the passengers were kept warm in case steam heat didn't reach the rear of this lengthy special.
