JL - 2.10.15 70805 6J37 Carlisle - Chirk, Ais Gill MP260

For the second day in succession 70805 took sole charge of the lunchtime log diagram which once again operated under clear bright skies, although at lower levels there was some mist which didn't quite fully clear. The mist was the reason I headed for higher ground where a fine backdrop is closer to the subject. If the early running of this diagram over the last two days is anything to go by, then Colas must be pretty happy so far with the performance of this type of traction on this high profile working. In stunning Autumnal conditions this brute forges up to the summit with 6J37 Carlisle - Crewe logs.
