    Hi .. New member here
    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

    Six Bells Junction contains the information you require. Locos involved were 3442(K4), 45698 and 62005 (K1). (Beaten to it!)
