On a dull morning of 14th October 2014, LNER Class A4 Pacific Pacific No. 60009 'Union of South Africa', hauls eight freight wagons to portray a Parcels train through the picturesque Irwell Vale Station on the East Lancashire Railway, creating creates a memorable smoke trail, while making the fifth and final runpast at this location, during the photographic charter organised by the 3P20 Parcels Group. This is believed to be the first time an A4 has hauled a Parcels train since No. 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley in March 1967
