RSH Tank, ELR No.1 crosses Brooksbottom Viaduct with an early afternoon train from Bury to Ramsbottom on the 2nd August 1987. The railway had only been open for a week at this point and this view of the viaduct at Summerseat was still relatively uncluttered by trees. It wasn't to last for long though! This tank engine and an Austerity were the mainstays of the service for several months until ex-BR locos started arriving for prolonged visits.
