A few weeks ago, I posted this photo of a Type 4 at Pelton:
Type 4 (later Class 40) D392 banking a 9F hauled iron ore train at Pelton on 24 April 1965. Holy Trinity Church is just off to the left – if you were standing at the same location today, the Vicarage would be right in front of you. Photo copyright Rail-Online
Having passed the place yesterday, I thought a ‘now’ shot would be interesting so here is what the same location looks like today with so much tree growth that it is almost impossible to see the embankment that carries the line.

Well done John.
