Roch Viaduct

The Rossendale Farewell Railtour, a 6-car DMU, on the return run from Rawtenstall to Manchester crossing the River Roch at Heap Bridge. Although there were high hopes at this time for re-opening from Bury to Rawtenstall I little thought that this stretch of line from Bury to Castleton would also see East Lancashire Railway trains running again in due course.
