Winter CME, 28/01/2012

The effects of two sets of exhaust hanging in the air were pretty amazing this morning, I have uploaded a set of photos taken from an extrememly busy Scout Green.

The first shot captures the exhaust after the locos had passed

That's the dogs dangly bits Steve. Absolutely awesome - the exhaust on Shap was every bit as good as the Jingpeng stuff I've seen!! Thanks for sharing. Sheff

A Couple of pics from today. Passing Oubeck loops this morning - Zenfolio | TODAYS RAILWAY SCENE by Phil Metcalfe | Mainline Steam 2012 | 44871 & 45407 pass Oubeck loops with the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Exp from Manchester to Carlisle.

And passing Birkett - Zenfolio | TODAYS RAILWAY SCENE by Phil Metcalfe | Mainline Steam 2012 | 44871 & 45407 pass Oubeck loops with the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Exp from Manchester to Carlisle. About five mins before you could hardly see in front of you, but the thick fog just cleared !!

 

And three from Ribblehead:

Cheers for now,

Great shot from Birkett. I headed up thereand saw the fog hanging in the valley, but wasn't convinced it would clear so headed up to Ais Gill. Looks like I missed out!

 

But surely the location is wrong. You must mean on the DESCENT from Ais Gill, judging by the speed Brilliant footage both, thanks for cheering up the Winter days.

A funny old day today, I couldn't find anywhere for the morning run and ended up lost on a fell so it was all a bit of a rush job, and then in the afternoon my chosen location got fogged in so I had to change again!

Ended up with GRAYRIGG in the morning (bit of a rush job this)

and GREENGATES in the afternoon.

 

My two efforts from today:

Stuart - I like the second shot very much but were you at Birkett rather than Mallerstang?

 

I think I was stood next to you at Birkett.

 

I thought it may have been Birkett - good to see someone produce a new angle. Excellent shot.

 

Actually I meant Greengates.......................told you it had been a funny old day

Just noticed that, have you stopped shivering yet? :lol:
