The Tin Bath ran from Preston and
Manchester over the steeply graded routes to West Yorkshire and passed through
areas renowned for Lancashire cotton mills and Yorkshire woollen mills. The
train was hauled by two steam locomotives ‘Black 5’ 4-6-0’s Nos. 44871 and
45407, facing face some of the fiercest gradients in the country.

It was yet another bitterly cold March day
as the two locomotives hauled the The Railway Touring Company’s charter train
through Stocksmoor station. A good number of photographers had turned out to
capture a rare journey by steam train alone this line.
