The loops at Blea Moor allowed slow moving goods trains to replenish water supplies. Here on 28th July 1966. A BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 No. 92004 heads a through with a southbound anhydrite train from Long Meg to Widnes while a BR Standard Class 7MT Britannia No. 70032 Tennyson rests in the northbound loop with a freight from Skipton. Farther up is No. 92114 with a return anhydrite empties train.
