Almost 4 years ago back in the days both EWS S&C Gypsums were 60s 60045 is seen leading 6E13 Newbiggin-Drax south at Aisgill - 05/04/2007
An unexpected appearance on the Settle to Carlisle Line on Wednesday 1st August 2012 was Gresley 'K4' 2-6-0 No.61994 'The Great Marquess' seen crossing Ais Gill Viaduct in the driving rain on the final part of the 1 in 100 climb to Ais Gill summit heading the Carlisle to Lancaster 'Fellsman' charter, an incredible achievement for this 'Mogul' with a trailing load of 12 eclectic coaches. Built at Darlington and introduced to traffic in June 1938 for passenger traffic on the West Highland Line. During the 1950s, the K4s' sphere of operation enlarged and they began to appear at locations such as Edinburgh, Perth, Forfar, Ayr and Tweedmouth. In 1959 they were all were concentrated at Thornton Junction depot in Fife and all were withdrawn by the end of 1961, 61994 being the final class member in BR service.

The view from the cab of M51751 approaching the summit at Ais Gill on the 1641hrs Carlisle to Skipton. This photo was taken during the period I was lodging in Cumberland (working at Brampton Fell) but still living in Leeds, when I travelled over the S&C on my days off sometimes by car but mostly by train.
Class 113/2 DMBS No M51751 had a very short life, delivered in March 1960 built by Cravens and fitted with a Rolls-Royce 238 bhp engine and a Hydraulic Torque converter it was withdrawn in July 1969 and scrapped at T. W. Wards at Briton Ferry in August 1970.

A trip up to the West Highlands with an B&B stay in Carlisle to do some night photography, we decided to drive up via the S&C.
As we parked up for a brew, the relative peace and tranquillity of Ais Gill was soon interrupted by the thud of a distant ‘Tug’. A few moments later 60003 'Christopher Wren’ pounds the gradient with 6E14 14:00 Newbiggin - Drax empty Gypsum containers on 5th August 1994. (645 scan)

Its artisticity amazes me. = )~~
About the crest the summit of the Settle - Carlisle line at Ais Gill, with Wild Boar Fell looming over the background, 60087 works 6J37 1258 Carlisle to Chirk log train on the 22nd July 2015. The day is a typical Cumbrian summers one - having driven up from Sedbergh in sunshine and rolled out the car in the middle of a heavy rain storm, the rain had just about stopped by the time this appeared. The loco was making an impressive run up the continuous climb from Appleby.
14.51 on Thursday 14th July 2011, in the foreground No. 66596 with 20 HXA's in tow is seen crossing Ais Gill viaduct grinding up the long drag with 6Z68 the 0702 Killoch - Ferrybridge loaded coal. The back drop is provided by High Bank Scar and Mallerstang valley.
The mountains dwarf 70814 as it climbs steadily to the summit with the 12.58 Carlisle - Chirck Kronospan logs.

The up 'Thames-Forth' express with 5694 'Bellerophon' going well near the summit.
45694 was a Jubilee class, built in 1936 and withdrawn 1967.
[the headboard shows 'The Waverely', as the 'Thames-Forth' had been renamed in 1957]
From an album of lovely monochrome steam images by an unknown photographer, see 'A Steam Album' in my albums to view the others.
47853 is seen at Ais Gill with the diverted 1V98 12:45 Glasgow Central to Paddington. 27/3/93. This was long before it was repainted in XP64 livery and became a celebrity.
On Saturday 4 March 1989 most West Coast Main Line rail services were diverted via Hellifield, Settle & Carlisle. Looking back along the Eden Valley, 47532 heads the 1M04 1025hrs Glasgow Central - London Euston over Ais Gill summit.
This lens was the most used of all my lenses on the day. My latest addition to my AIS line up. Together with the 50/1.2 and 200/2 I shot perhaps 80% of the wedding. I think I now want to save up for a Leica M Monchrom. Looks just perfect.
My friend with the pole was back again, but the train was not so nice this time. GBRf liveried 66707 "Sir Sam Fay GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY" heads a "tatty" 6V97, the 12.40 New Biggin - Middlesborough Dawson empty gypsum towards Ais Gill summit.
