66142 Salterwath

66142 "Maritime Intermodal Three" grapples the 1 in 75 incline towards Shap Summit with a healthy container load on the 4S38 14.16 Seaforth-Mossend, passing Salterwath Farm. The lorries on the M6 motorway behind made easier work of the incline. On the other hand the shed was slogging it at crawling pace and, as is clearly visible, producing a fair bit of clag.

 

It's also worth noting this working was delayed by 65 minutes, which had a positive impact on the sun angle by the time it finally reached me; the late-running a consequence of the earlier inbound service arriving at the Liverpool terminal three hours late.
