A Review Of 2004 On The E.L.R.
A Review of 2004 on the E.L.R. Consolidation of the now extended system to Heywood is progressing well, and with the completion of phase l signalling, the methods of operation on the railway have become varied. Despite alack of steam for the June event its surprising to see that we were able to find that no less than l3 locos appeared on the railway this year. Not to forget the huge appearance of locos from the diesel department .... English Electric fans don’t miss this one). The events featured on this tape are as follows:-
* January & February Steam Events
* Sulzer, Hydraulic & E.E. diesel days
* Rebuilding of“The Lady of legend’
* Completion of phase l Signalling
* Bl2 and Bl photo charters
* 40’s `War Weekend
* July Mega Mix Diesel Event
* Engineering in Steam Sheds
* Main line charters on & off E.L.R.
* Last Runs of the l0l’s
* September Diesel Event
* October Steam Event & photo Charter
* 20J" arrival & first runs
All these main items are included in our 2004 extravaganza, with regular visits to Riley Engineering and other important developments concerning the East Lancashire Railway.
