18.4.14 - 66109 6S00 Clitheroe - Mossend, Birkett Common

There aren't too many occasions when I've been able to get a shot of the southbound and northbound cement workings on the same day. So it's a testiment to how nice the weather was this Good Friday that this rare feat was achieved. In perfect lighting conditions 66109 drifts downhill through Birkett Common with 6S00 Clitheroe - Mossend loaded Castle Cement tanks. After this it was a slow walk back to the car for Patch and I then home for a well earned beer, or two! One strange thing today was that RTT was showing no reported times at all for 6K05 (I realise it's not a foolproof system), I assumed it was a none runner but then I did see some gen that it ran with a 37/4 hauling 1 JNA wagon. I wonder if anyone can confirm?
