In 2022 the East Lancashire Railway celebrated the 100th anniversary of the merging of the L&YR with the L&NWR with several events including operating some services with the LYR 0-6-0ST No.752 and the LNWR 0-6-2T 'Coal Tank' No.1054. The two old locos are seen at Heywood prior to taking their train to Rawtenstall on 25th June. This was the first time I had been on a double headed steam train. Remarkably, 1054 had a brief main line steam career in the 1980s. See image 25361
