30.12.10 - 8F 44871 & Jub 5960 'Leander' 1Z46 Carlisle - Man Vic

The weather wasn't kind to the passengers and crew aboard the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express on 30th December 2010. Dull cold conditions dominated all day and light was very poor. However, I was keen to get some sort of shot so I opted for this moody image just south of Ormside. Under a bruising low sky, the LMS combination of 8F 44871 and Jubilee 45690 'Leander' race south with 1Z46 Carlisle - Manchester Victoria return leg.
