JL - 12.2.21 66130 6E97 Kirkby Thore - Tees Dock, Angerholme

It was nice of the Tees Yard lads to swap out the dog locos they've been serving up on the Tees Dock - Kirkby Thore imported gypsum flow. I wasn't hoping for much but when the distinctive pink front end appeared around the curve in Mallerstang this morning it was surprise. 66130 is seen making good time as she climbs south on 6E97 with only around a mile to go to the summit. The incredible Mallerstang valley looked impressive with it's flanks covered in deep snow.
