45407 & 62005 ECS Fort Bill - Carnforth Oct 12th

Does anyone have timings for this move next Monday? Nothing on UK Steam.
Thanks in advance

 

Can't help with the times I'm afraid but I can tell you that they are currently
carrying the identities of 44996 and 62034 and are wonderfully grubby.

 

I don't have the times to hand, but have seen them and they looked close to the usual. Rough times I recall were around 8.30am off the Fort, Crianlarich depart around 12pm after water, more water at Craigendoran, Carstairs around 6pm, then dark.

 

62034 aka 62005 deputised for the Black 5 on today's Jacobite while
Mr. Riley's engine received some attention. Now carrying 45407 numbers once more
and looking a little cleaner.

My photos of No. 45407 and 62034 ( really 62005 as you are all aware ), in the West Highlands today hauling 5Z43 Fort William - Carnforth, in what was some pretty glorious weather!

Hope you like them, such a stunning day!

 

Great selection of shots Jonathon, lovely autumn colours.

 

Agreed, cracking photos Jon!!!!

 

Lovely stuff, Jonathan. I just wish you'd been taking video at Beinn Dorain. The sound must have been wonderful.

 

Superb pictures Jonathon.

 

My friend Martyn has taken a video of it on his camera, it's not a professional hi-tech video camera like yours....in fact, it's a Fuji Finepix like my own Digital Still Camera, but however, he will be uploading it to youtube soon so hopefully the sound quality will be good enough to please!

If not, I have an okayish sound recording of it on my phone

 

Great pictures, I wish I was still up there! The weather last Thursday up by Glenfinnan and Arisaig was glorious by anyone's standards..

 

Perhaps falling short of Martin's high standards for 'glorious' weather with some high cloud around making the sunshine hazy at times, but pretty decent all the same and definitely worth the overnight camp to see the two locos in the still morning air:

Great shots of the engines with Beinn Dorain in the background. It isn't often that the steam engines are just an insignificant part of the landscape.

 

Great shots, thank you.

Many thanks Jonathon,

I was hoping someone would 'shoot' the pair coming back having been behind the K1 on the Jacobite last month and pulled by 45407 to Scarborough in July. You captured the colours and majestic scenery so well. Cant wait for Sunday and the two Black Fives trip.

Alan.

 

Take no one like my picture

There should be an edited one soon uploaded ;-)

 

On this occasion, it was a mad dash on the first unit south to chase the sun. I'd camped overnight on one of the mounds at Corrour, the sun rose and illuminated the landscape for about 10 minutes before rising into a veil of high cloud, so I headed south to Rannoch to get clear of the thicker cloud. The rest of the day was reasonably sunny, but there was a general haze and strips of high cloud would occasionally blot out the sun. I caught the lunchtime train south and overtook the steam at Craigendoran, so I thought the Leven Viaduct was worth a go. A fine end to another Jacobite season. Roll on next year
