11.10.10 - 66016 /182/201/147 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe, Salt Lake Cotts.

Could this picture the record for the most engines captured moving on the S&C at one time? 5 engines in one shot! Who knows, but it makes for very interesting viewing as 66016, with sister engines 66182, 66201 & 66147 all dead in tow, leads a lengthy 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe engineers diagram past Salt Lake Cottages. Whilst in other direction Colas 47739 works light engine to Ribblehead to collect the loaded timber wagons (see Blea Moor section for a shot of that working). This shot was published in the 'Line by Line - Settle & Carlisle' book by Martin Buck.
