They are called detonators they are normally carried by a guard so that incase a locomotive stops on a line and needs assistance the guard will put detonators on the track behind the locomotive so that any locomotive behind will know that there is an engine stationary ahead very very important pieces of kit

I thought trains weren’t supposed to go that way on the CVR yet because the track didn’t yet reach Leek 🤔

This is the first section of relaid track. Fundraising for the rest is ongoing through events like the triple USATC S160s train on Saturday the 26th Oct 19 for just £20 per adult all day. These funds will go towards new track laying to reach a new proposed station at a large redevelopment in Leek.
