45407 passing Scout Green with the ECS for today's Day 4 leg from Carlisle to Fort William. Very little diesel assistance here! https://www.flickr.com/photos/90397953@N02/55221464015 https://www.flickr.com/photos/90397953@N02/55221221098

34067 seen from opposite Blea Moor Signal Box crossing Ribblehead Viaduct and onto Blea Moor followed by a widescreen view, unfortunately the Arcow to Doncaster stone train was ticking over in the loop which didn't help sound wise. [MEDIA]
