Preston (Ribble Branch)
The driver of D2595 changes gear and accelerates past the platform with two industrial shunters in tow at the RSR 2011 Diesel Gala. The industrials were being positioned for use later in the day. D2595, a Hunslet Class 05 0-6-0DM, is one of only four survivors of this class. Behind the shunters a long train of bitumen tankers is ready to be tripped down to the exchange sidings on the following morning to return across the Pennines to Lindsey Oil Refinery.
