47295 climbs to Copy Pit Summit at Portsmouth with 6M65 07:50 Healey Mills to Preston Deepdale Speedlink coal. 14/7/87. Class 47s weren't unknown on this working but they were certainly a lot rarer than Class 37s.

37692 roars out of Holme Tunnel on the Copy Pit line with 6E66 13.00 Preston Deepdale to Healey Mills Speedlink coal. 15/7/87. At the time of writing, this tunnel is closed for repair for some four months and in this picture you can quite clearly see the deformation of the tunnel mouth and the steel ribs that had been put in place in the mid-1980s to support it.

37692 growls towards Copy Pit Summit with with 6M27 08:11 Healey Mills to Preston Deepdale Speedlink coal. 16/7/87. I also photted it coming towards me at the other side of the bridge, but my records tell me that I underexposed it and as I don't have the slide in my collection, I probably binned it at the time. Mistake!
