Black Five no. 44871, running in reverse is working a morning midweek service on the East Lancashire Railway. Since it was the first train of the day, the crossing keeper for Rawtenstall rode on the train. Therefore, the train had to stop short of the level crossing so that he could walk forward and open the gates. Here we see the crossing keeper, who has just disembarked, walking towards the crossing while 44871 waits in the background.
