28.1.12 - LMS Black 5s 44871 & 45407 Man Vic - Carlisle, Scout Green

Postponed from late Dec, today saw The Railway Touring Company's 'Winter Cumbrian Mountian Express' operate through the region. Originating from Manchester it ran outward to Carlisle via the WCML and returned via the S&C. LMS Black 5s Nos. 44871 and 45407 were in charge and they are seen pouding up Shap at Scout Green leaving a trail of smoke which was still hanging in the cold air for the passage of two following freights.
