18.12.2021 60103 The Golden Hour
With less than 1 hour to go before sunset, West Coast driver Mick Kelly on 60103 Flying Scotsman crosses the viaduct over the River Eden with the return Carlisle - Liverpool charter train. Always a bit of a dilemma where to place the engine with this type of location, but I personally chose the slightly longer smoke trail, fortunately this also helped in hiding the first of the three pullman coaches in the rake.
Incredibly my last visit to this location was in November 1988 with 8F 48151.
