On Monday 10 May 1982, the local platelayers gang work on the line at Westgate Bridge, picking up surplus railway sleepers. The train was the Carnforth Ballast, which could be sent anywhere locally to work. (The trailer in the garden belongs to Lindbergh – High Fire Diver. He used to travel performing in shows in the UK and the USA, diving off his high diving board through flames of fire into a small pool of water below).

You can see the milepost in front of the loco (1 mile from Morecambe Promenade), and also the starter for Heysham Moss.
