Whilst photographing George Stephenson at Keighley, I met with ~Herr-Flick , who then gave me a lift up to Haworth, where we took up position in one of our favourite locations on the line to shoot what later became something special.

Seen thundering up the straight between Haworth and Oxenhope is LMS Class 3F 0.6.0 "Jinty" number 47279 leading British Rail Standard 4 2.6.4T number 80002. As the Jinty is approaching the end of it's current 10 year boiler ticket, it was agreed the last days that the loco would be run would be 11th, 12th and 13th February, and with this being the only run smokebox first that we saw that day, this could possibly be the locos last turn of duty at the KWVR before overhaul.

However, we do have an imminent return to traffic of an LMS Fowler Class 4F , which is basically a more powerful Jinty with a tender. So as one door closes...
