Working of the year?
Rare for such a statement to be applicable on only the second day of the year but this is the question raised due to a wiper fault. Having hired in Freightliner 86s for the previous couple of workings, GBRf used the AC Locomotive Groups 87002 'Royal Sovereign,' which they have been crewing as necessary as the WCML icebreaker, to top the demic 92010 (which was assisting both ways due to the load) on 6m49 Mossend - Carlisle Yard and 6s51 return.
It is seen crossing Metal Bridge in a lucky patch of sun. Unfortunately however shortsightedness on small gallery's part saw the shadow from the bridge cast over the loco. Still, such a rare working won't be seen very often so its worthy of uploading. 02/01/14
