'Double Headed Autumn Steam Delight' (2 of 3) - 'The Separation' - 5.10.2019
9.45am on Saturday 5th October 2019 now sees 'The Separation' of this interesting 'Light Engine Pairing' brighten up a gloomy Autumn Morning - having just arrived at Swithland Sidings, Great Central Railway (GCR), Leicestershire.
Lead Engine GWR Hawksworth designed 'Modified Hall' 5MT 4-6-0 No, 6990 Witherslack Hall is now about to enter the Up Loop (to my immediate far right) to collect its awaiting vans freight train. Thereafter, it departed tender first at 10.10am for Loughborough Central - after firstly waiting for BR Standard Riddles designed 5MT 4-6-0 No. 73156 to proceed further along the Main Line - before itself reversing into the sidings to undertake its own duty later that morning.
