Passing the Lancaster Canal.
New-build Peppercorn A1 Pacific no. 60163 'Tornado' passes the Lancaster Canal at Catterall, on the beautiful summers evening of the 5th July 2014, whilst working the return leg of 'The Border Raider' charter.
The charter ran from London Euston to Carlisle and return, using the West Coast main line route. The steam leg of the tour was from Crewe to Carlisle and back as far as Preston.
The evening was hot, so unfortunately there was no exhaust. Nevertheless, 'Tornado' in blue made a fine sight.
