Remarks & Notes 
Kearsley power station had a short electrified branch from the Manchester-Bolton main line. There were 3 or 4 of these small electrics, maintained, like the power station, on a standby basis. I never saw them used in anger, nor was I aware of the power station actually generating any power. A BR/Sulzer class 25 hurries its single brake van past in the background. No trace remains of the electric railway or power station remain today.

From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
