7.10.11 - 66142 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe, Greengates

Following the lunchtime passenger we had the now semi-reliable procession of 4 freights. The first of which was the GBRf gypsum with 66731 in charge, unfortunately the sun went in for that shot at Birkett Tunnel so I moved slightly further north to Greengates for the following diagrams. No sun again for the FHH coal (66552) but then I did get the engineers in some decent light. 66142, having been held at Kirkby Stephen for some time until the sections cleared, is back underway with 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe at Greengates under an ever changing sky.
