Haut lieu de pèlerinage à travers les siècles, Saint-Michel de la Cluse était située sur un itinéraire connu sous le nom de Via Sacra Langobardorum, une variante de la Via Francigena, qui la reliait en une ligne droite aux deux autres des trois plus grands monastères dédiés à l’archange Saint-Michel, objet d’un culte soutenu : le Mont-Saint-Michel en France, et Monte Sant’Angelo, à Foggia, dans les Pouilles. Une ligne droite qui se prolongeait jusqu’à Jérusalem.
Au débouché de la vallée de la Suse, perchée à 960 mètres d’altitude sur le sommet rocheux du mont Pirchiriano, l’Abbazia di San Michele della Chiusa (plus souvent appelée Sacra di San Michele ou en français, « Abbaye de Saint-Michel-de-la-Cluse » ) est l’une des plus importantes abbayes du Piémont.
GBRf 69006 is on the rear of 3Q99 weedkiller train from Whitehaven to Carlisle as it departs Parton on the Cumbrian Coast. Unfortunately my planned shot over the bay was changed at the last second as an encroaching cloud dulled the foreground to the left.

Royal Scot 46100, makes its way along the sea wall towards Parton with the Cumbrian Coast Express on 9th April, 2016. Having lost the sun by seconds on the climb to Grayrigg we managed to get something from the day with some brightness around the Cumbrian coast.
another 22 hour, 600 mile day up in Cumbria. Last time I stood here the gallery were in my opinion stood in the wrong place, fortunately this time I managed to stand in the right spot. 2C40 0842 Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness 3rd June 2015
On the hill can be seen the remains of the Lowca coke works. A recent walk up there did find some narrow gauge tracks set in the concrete.
Second loco hauled service on the Cumbrian Coast in the morning was 2C33, 0546 Barrow - Carlisle.
Rounding the one of the curves on the approach to Parton is 37423 hauling 2C33. Seen in overcast conditions at 0734 on the 24th June 2016
Having watched the pair of tractors make there way around the curve that can be just seen in the distance and creating a wake up call for the residents of the village of Parton due to there nice noise departure from the station, 37218 leads a 2 plus 4 set around the coast at Parton with the 2C33 Northern Rail loco hauled diagram from Barrow in Furness to Carlisle.
This train is to be the first loco hauled train off Barrow in Furness in a morning and around 20 minutes prier to this arriving into Parton, the second loco hauled diagram set for Northern Rail is due to pass through. Also with this being the first shot of the day and with it proving to be rather a good shot, the hope would be that it would continue throughout the day and this was to be as you can see from the following shots that came after this.
