As soon as 9M47, the 14:52 from Edinburgh to London Euston, had passed me near Plumpton Head I could see the steam hauled "Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express" pulling out of the up goods loop. There was just sufficient light to capture Merchant Navy Class 8P 4-6-2 35018 BRITISH INDIA LINE accelerating the train in order to take a run at the long climb from Penrith to Shap Summit on Saturday 25th January 2020.
