Having been on a Preston to Colne service, a two-car Class 104 DMU formed of cars M53465 & M53531 had been placed in the District Civil Engineers Sidings at Brownedge, just to the West of Bamber Bridge on June 22nd 1985. One of the wheelsets was located in a temporary skate, and was awaiting attention. The DMU is sat close to what was once Bamber Bridge Junction, and the 'road' alongside the 104 is on the site of the 1850 Preston Extension that ran from Bamber Bridge to Preston EL, via Todd Lane Junction that was abandoned in 1972. The unit is stabled on what had once been a loop between Brownedge Crossing and Bamber Bridge Junction. Dominating the skyline on the right of this scene is the former Bamber Bridge Spinning Company Mill complex.
