30.5.12 - A1 Pacific 60163 'Tornado' Cathedrals Express, Car - Euston

A lucky burst of sun on an otherwise dull and cloudy day illuminates the unique Peppercorn A1 No. 60163 'Tornado' as she eases upgrade through Bull Gill with the Railway Touring Company's Cathedrals Express returning from Carlisle to Euston under the headcode 1Z62. The tour was steam hauled as far as Preston. On reflection, I should've been down at Bull Gill footpath crossing and at a lower angle, to set the brunswick green loco against that very dark sky.
