Cathedrals

The real reason I was hanging around Oxford Station- a pair of Black Fives hauling the Cathedrals Express. No. 45407 The Lancashire Fusilier and No. 44871 are both owned by Ian Riley of Riley and Son Ltd in Bury, which is responsible for most of the overhaul work on preserved steam engines. He also owns a third Black Five and a Merchant Navy class, neither of which are currently operational. Taken 12.11.14.
