Carnforth : Last steam workings of.................. 3rd August 1968]]> 1 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 23:17:24 +0000 https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/1x15-6-3-65-whitby-moors-railtour.1419340/ https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/1x15-6-3-65-whitby-moors-railtour.1419340/ invalid@example.com (thunderbird1949) thunderbird1949 I have recently come into possession of a b/w photo of a steam hauled special passing Sowerby Bridge Station. The loco is an LMR Jubilee ..number looks like 45658.
The train Headcode is 1x15 and has Whitby Moors Railtour headboard on smokebox.
After a bit of digging I have found that this train ran on 6/3/1965.
Has anyone got any more details or know where I may find them
Regards
Trevor
