Historic British steam locomotive The Lancashire Fusilier captured on rail tour across Derbyshire

The Buxton Spa Express service run by The Railway Touring Company allowed people to step back in time by travelling on the steam-pulled train on one of the region's busiest railway lines.

The Lancashire Fusilier 45407, was seen as it exited Barmoor Clough Tunnel, soon to arrive at Dove Holes Station on its way to Buxton Station.

Photographer Nick Rhodes said: “From Google maps, I located a quiet spot to wait and photograph the Buxton Spar Express rail tour as it traveled from Preston to Buxton.

“Having arrived, parking 10 minutes walk away from the location due to an obvious lack of suitable parking close by, I stood alone waiting for the key moment to come.

“Only to be quickly joined by about twenty others, all with the same intent to see the train!”

Rod Brown who also captured the historic engine as it exited the tunnel ‘on the long climb up to Dove Holes’ adding: “It was working very hard.”
