JL - 19.12.24 158758 1E65 13:36 Carlisle - Leeds, Settle Jn

The first day of my 2024 Christmas break very fortunately coincided with a break from the cold and grey conditions. A brisk overnight northerly brought clear and bright conditions across the north and heading out I was spoiled for choice. With a GBRf celeb on the inbound Arcow, a 60 up the Rylstone branch and the Northern Belle running over the LNW I headed for this quiet corner of Yorkshire for a leisurely days photting. For the final shot of the day I stopped in at SJ to catch 158758 forming 13:36 Carlisle - Leeds hurrying south just before the sun reached the horizon.
