Twenty minutes after 46100 had gone over Shap 46115 'Scots Guardsman' running seven late without any assistance is seen climbing towards Shap summit with the RTC CME. A remarkable day on Shap not the best of conditions for those that went out but the sight and sound was well worth the journey alone.
35018 'British India Line' on the climb at Lambrigg Head with 1Z86, the 06.54 London Euston - Appleby 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' (steam on at Carnforth) on Sat 13th May 2023.
I was literally 2 seconds away from being bowled by the southbound 4M25. The next frame had the side of a 66 in it!
Cme across this art work in a dog park in the suburb of Attadale. Located in a dog park on the foreshore of the swan river estuary. The work was absolutely wonderful and was by a local artist called April Pine. Stunning eye catching work
January 2nd 1995, lovely conditions and pre Real Time Trains so touch and go whether the sun would still be up for 46203 Princess Margaret Rose on a Northbound CME.

Stayed up late on my lasst night in Iceland to catch this aurora looking south over Hafnarfjall, following what turned out to be a weaker than expected CME impact.

A substantial coronal mass ejection, or CME, blew out from side of the Sun, giving us a great view of the event in profile (June 17-18, 2015). NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the action in the 304 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light. The video clip covers about four hours of the event. While some of the plasma falls back into the Sun, a look at the coronagraph on SOHO shows a large cloud of particles heading into space.

Taken a good 15 mins after sunset, and with a pink tinge to the sky, 46233 heads out of Hellifield with the CME, 7.2.15.
After a frustrating wait for the cloud to clear south and not quite clearing the distant hills 61306 and 35018 head north at Greenhome.

Southern rebuilt Merchant Navy Class 4-6-2 35018 "British India Line" at Hellifield North Yorkshire for her scheduled water stop with the circular "Cumbrian Mountain Express" railtour, afterwards departing for Preston & Carnforth.
The 17th of August 1989 would appear to be another lucky visit to Barron Wood on the Settle & Carlisle line.
Jubilee 45596 looks so much better in the sun, working a Cumbrian Mountain Express.
Caption: This image from June 20, 2013, at 11:15 p.m. EDT shows the bright light of a solar flare on the left side of the sun and an eruption of solar material shooting through the sun’s atmosphere, called a prominence eruption. Shortly thereafter, this same region of the sun sent a coronal mass ejection out into space.

On June 20, 2013, at 11:24 p.m., the sun erupted with an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection or CME, a solar phenomenon that can send billions of tons of particles into space that can reach Earth one to three days later. These particles cannot travel through the atmosphere to harm humans on Earth, but they can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground.
Experimental NASA research models, based on observations from NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory and ESA/NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory show that the CME left the sun at speeds of around 1350 miles per second, which is a fast speed for CMEs.
Earth-directed CMEs can cause a space weather phenomenon called a geomagnetic storm, which occurs when they funnel energy into Earth's magnetic envelope, the magnetosphere, for an extended period of time. The CME’s magnetic fields peel back the outermost layers of Earth's fields changing their very shape. Magnetic storms can degrade communication signals and cause unexpected electrical surges in power grids. They also can cause aurora. Storms are rare during solar minimum, but as the sun’s activity ramps up every 11 years toward solar maximum – currently expected in late 2013 -- large storms occur several times per year.
In the past, geomagnetic storms caused by CMEs of this strength and direction have usually been mild.
