Does anyone know why this move has occurred since it leaves them with just 2 locos at Fort William?

 

Tyre turning.

 

Thank you. Will it return north later this month?

 

Just another day on the WCML with Stanier 4-6-0s in their natural environment.

With the the air still chilly from the morning mists 46100 headed south from Crewe to Southall past Millmeece at 08:25. Six and a half hours later just before 3pm with the car telling me the temperature is 29 degrees 45596 passes Cranberry en route from Orton Mere to Crewe.

At the end of steam both classes would have been adorned with a yellow stripe on the cab side banning them from this route.

 

Taken by surprise yesterday, saw what was 262K, type 40 towing green liveried inspection saloon through the Calder Valley, reversing at Hebden Bridge, then presumably "pushing " to Hellifield?

 

Back in York at 1516.

 

It was 37558 with Inspection Saloon 975025. The saloon was leading from Leeds to Hellifield when I saw it at Cononley.

 

Many thanks

Going well by the look of things.

Cheers, Neil

 

مشاهدة المرفق 62640 45212, just a poor shot out of the bedroom window

 

It certainly was .

 

...and a signalman in a proper box would have sent 'stop and examine' to the next cabin after seeing the open door in the 'Scots' support coach!

 

Taken a long time for anyone to notice that on the picture!

 

And that 4/5ths of the second coach is missing in the picture of 45596!
