This reduces the number of Stations that it could be, as this is after the date of the Beeching cull, however steam locos were also becoming rarer on BR, the last one running in 1968 in regular mainline service. Looking beyond the engine it looks like goods wagons and also the photo is taken from the bottom of the platform ramp, which could suggest a level crossing. Big BR build engines like this usually worked out of the Northern yards, Kingsmoor at Carlisle was a favourite for them..... and when you've guessed the correct location, make sure we have the engine drivers nameHave looked through about 250 slides and found just one more from Aug 1967. Luckily? it is the preceding one. And would you believe it is the Front at Blackpool!
