24.10.13 - 56087 6J37 Carlisle - Chirk, Plumpton

Words cannot describe the incredible sound that accompanied this shot. In one of the few shots where a video would've been a better option, 56087 makes the ground shake and the air throb as it powers away from Plumpton loop with 6J37 Carlisle - Chirk. My original plan had been to chase this working and get at least another 2 shots (which should be possible if it makes all its booked looped stops). However in the end I headed north to the Tyne Valley route for the returning Seaton flasks and the RHTT.
