Buxton
Continuing a very cautious approach down the 1:66 gradient from Dove Holes, DBC 66025 passes Buxton’s outer home signal with a train of empties from Ashburys to Dowlow on the Hindlow Branch. In the foreground are the Up Relief Sidings, which are used by all other branch freights allowing the loco to run round and access the wider network via the freight only Peak Forest route. This daily train perhaps provides a welcome change for signallers when offering the train to the next block post on the route, tapping out a 5 on the block instrument instead of the usual 3-1 for passenger trains.
