5690 Dorrington 28 January 1984

1980s mainline steam nostalgia! LMS Jubilee Class 4-6-0 5690 Leander takes water at Dorrington on 28 January 1984, whilst working the SLOA Sheffield to Euston 'West Mercian' railtour. Although only three members of the support crew are actually standing on the mainline, numerous members of the public are swarming all over the trackside, and the old cattle dock, in a way that wouldn't be tolerated today.
