13.1.12 - 66548 6E73 Killoch - Ferrybridge, Ais Gill

With a green light showing at Ais Gill for around 40 mins before anything arrived, it was always likley to be a very slow moving diagram that followed this afternoon's lunchtime passenger service south. 66548 climbs up to Ais Gill at just over walking pace with 6E73 Killoch - Ferrybridge loaded FHH coal. The Carlisle - Crewe engineers ran as 0K05 right behind this as single light engine 66034 and an DBS gypsum diagram worked north at the same time. Other than these workings and the logs the line was very quiet today with just the cement and a 57/3 route learner being sighted.
