68026 1U23 eastbound near Strensall, 13th Sept 2023.

68026 Enterprise hauls train 1U23, the 05:35 Manchester Piccadilly to Scarborough towards Strensall from York past Oakbutts Farm soon after sunrise on the morning of September the 13th 2023.

One of the delights or bugbears of these locomotives, according to your perception, is their sound. The line rises gently from York, about five miles to here. And for five minutes early in the morning soon after the sun has risen you could hear it, the rise and fall, the mechanical drone, high, cemented with deep bass undertones. Sophistication for the connoisseur.
