On Sunday 19th September 2010, Vintage Trains organised a series of shuttles on the Liskeard to Looe branch-line to help celebrate GWR 175. This is believed to be the first time steam traction has been seen on the branch since 1961. Because of the lack of run-round facilities at the terminal stations and the need to reverse at Coombe Junction the train was operated in top and tail fashion with WCRC Class 37 diesel, No. 37685 and ex GWR Pannier tank No. 9466. At about 15.40 No. 9466 is seen heading the train back to Liskeard along the banks of the East Looe River on the approach to Terras Open Crossing.
