Dragging it out
I have previously posted colour pictures of The Long Thin Drag railtourof 12th April 1986. Showing the busy scene at Penrith, where there was a photo-stop for participants of the tour. 1Z25 is seen in dire light with 1001 leading. This was run by Hertfordshire Railtours and The Southern Electric Group, being an out and back from Hastings to Carlisle via the S&C with return using the WCML. 1001 was the power cars from the unit only, giving it a bit more oomph on the heavy gradients on the route.
