70013 "Oliver Cromwell" in the Fog

Ex British railways standard 7MT Britannia class No 70013 "Oliver Cromwell" is pictured in atrocious weather conditions as she crosses Lunds viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle line.

 

The railtour was the Winter Cumbrian mountain express. The tour began at London Euston where Class 86 No 259 "Les Ross" hauled the train up to Preston. At preston 70013 took over and took the train northwards to Carlisle via the S & C. Unfortunately the weather was awful, although the Britannia was working well heading up the incline towards the summit at Aisgill.
