43299+43296 1E13 Aviemore 14th January 2016.
This rear power car 43299 had failed completely. Due to the freezing temperatures I was unable to maintain main air ( therefore could not create a working train brake ) with 43296 leading so I failed the set.
This was my second longest shift (so far) on the footplate. It was sixteen hours by the time I signed off at Newcastle .
The train was terminated at Aviemore and we were rescued by 67003 that hauled us to Edinburgh some seven hours later.
Please see other images taken that day in this set.
