John Cameron's A4 pacific No.60009 'Union of South Africa' has been on a day out from Riley & Sons workshop. It made a run from Castleton to Carnforth in the early hours of 4th February 2020 before going on a loaded test run around the Carnforth loop (via Hellifield, Blackburn & Preston). Running around 90 minutes ahead of schedule the train is seen passing Lostock Hall. Hopefully all went well with the run and the loco will be seen for a few more months on the mainline.
