About this cam
Railcam UK's camera on the East Lancashire Railway. The operator states: "East Lancashire Railway - Rawtenstall Signal Box camera2 - looking North towards Rawtenstall Station Platforms."
The East Lancashire Railway runs twelve miles up the Irwell valley from Bury Bolton Street to Rawtenstall, with a branch east to Heywood, and it is one of the busiest preserved railways in the north of England.
Railcam UK streams a network of cameras along the line. The operator describes this one precisely: "East Lancashire Railway - Rawtenstall Signal Box camera2 - looking North towards Rawtenstall Station Platforms." It adds that the installation is "one of a whole suite of cameras in partnership with the ELR", and directs viewers to the railway itself at https://www.eastlancsrailway.org.uk/ for timetables and events.
The streams carry the joint credit "(c) Railcam UK / East Lancashire Railway".
What to watch for
Arrivals and run-rounds at the end of the line: the operator states the camera looks "North towards Rawtenstall Station Platforms" from the signal box, so you get the point work and the signals as well as the train.
