I was totally made up with this shot at the time. Since then I think I've improved on my shots at this location. I think it's best from a more head on and lower angle. However, it was one of the first times we had bright clear conditions since I moved up to Cumbria. Unfortunately I nearly lost this shot with a laptop problem and I've only managed to save a low-res version. At a time when 60s reigned supreme on this diagram. How I wish I'd got more shots of them now! 60040 charges up to Ais Gill past MP 260 with the lunchtime 6E13 Kirkby Thore - Milford gypsum empties.
