8mm cine film shot by me in the final weeks of steam operation on BR in July and August 1968.
The video begins with some workings from Carnforth before moving to Copy Pit and the sheds at Rose Grove and Lostock Hall.
On the 4th of August there were a number of steam hauled enthusiast specials and these were filmed at Entwhistle viaduct , Turton, and Lydgate viaduct as well as other locations.
BR commemorated the end of steam by running the "15 Guinee special" on the 11th August and this is seen outbound on Ribblehead viaduct and returning at Ais Gill summit where 70013 is also seen following light engine.
The video has an authentic soundtrack recorded by me at the time of filming.
