The date is Saturday 10th March 2007 and here we see an action shot of the Class 40 Preservation Society's (CFPS) heavyweight locomotive 40145 doing a bit of shunting at the Castlecroft diesel shed on the East Lancashire Railway. This shot was taken roughly at the some time as my other video titled '40145 Ticking Over Shot Number 5' but this time we see the driver - Lee Kenny - sorting the job out. Castlecroft is sometimes quiet and sometime busy, but this bit of shunting was anything but quiet with a 2000 hp engine whistling away.
