A Fresh(-ly Cleaned) Start
Day 4 - 1Z33 10:15 Carlisle to Preston
GB Railfreight Class 66, 66712 "Peterborough Power Signalbox" prepares to get the final day (Day 4) of the GBRf 2021 charity railtour underway working the first leg from Carlisle to Preston.
This is part of my selection of photos from the GBRf Charity Railtours 2021 "This Time it's Personal" four-day railtour, which I was on throughout. The tour was raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, a disease that one of the three main organisers has been impacted by and hence the reason for the tour and its strapline.
This was also quite personal for me as my Dad has battled prostate cancer and his father (my grandfather) died of the disease before I was born.
Despite the well-documented challenges, this was an excellent tour with a significant sum raised for the charity. It was also announced at the end that it would be the last multi-day GBRf Charity Railtours escapade in this format for understandable personal reasons impacting the key organisers.
