Ex-Eastern Region Cravens Class 105 power/trailer two-car DMU with DMBS M50389 trailing, was passing over the A6 trunk road as it departed from Bamber Bridge with the 14.30 Preston to Colne service on May 29th 1982. The bridge is the far distance spanning the East Lancashire line has a historic claim to fame - it was the first Motorway bridge to span a railway in the UK, the first section of Motorway (The 8.25 mile Preston Bypass and the first part of the M6) opening in December 1958. Unfortunately the original red brick bridge visible here was radically altered in the 1990's when the M6 was widened.
