8F 48624 nearing the end of restoration
The then flagship of the steam fleet at Peak Rail was 8F 48624 which is seen here in the new shed at Rowsley on the 13th January 2009 nearing the end of its extensive overhaul/rebuild. The locomotive starred in a gala being held in its honour on the 23rd - 25th May 2009 but has since departed from Peak Rail. (Mark Burrows)

WD150 Royal Pioneer departing Rowsley
Most services on Peak Rail are hauled by industrial saddle tank WD150 Royal Pioneer, a locomotive built to the LNER J94 design (however this particular example did not see LNER/BR service). It is seen here departing Rowsley on 10th August 2008 with the 16:00 service to Matlock. The boiler ticket on this locomotive expires later in 2012 and it faces an uncertain future. (Mark Burrows)
