Lorraine Greyhound
Class 66 66779 "Evening Star"
Celebrity 'Shed' 66779 "Evening Star" glides past Helwith Bridge, with the 4N00 0925 Carlisle New Yard to Clitheroe Castle Cement - 15/06/2022.
When I found out that this locomotive had worked this train just before we went on holiday, I was fairly confident it would keep on the working during our stay at Ribblehead.
I was hoping that this train would run on the previous Friday, which was our arrival day. However, it was cancelled. Then I thought it would run on the following Monday, but it was cancelled again. No show on Tuesday either, but it then looked guaranteed it would run on the Wednesday, when it appeared on RTT with this locomotive allocated. However, it didn't show any movement off Carlisle & I began to wonder if the train would be cancelled yet again. Thankfully however, it was just a delayed departure & it was definitely worth the wait in the end. I was over the moon to see this locomotive while we were on holiday & I was very lucky to capture it on camera in superb weather conditions such as this.
