JL - 24.11.23 68020 & 68019 6K06 Shap - Crewe, Docker Viaduct

What a fantastic turn up! The DRS worked 6K06 Shap - Crewe loaded ballast has a nice habit of turning up attractive loco / wagonload combinations. Even when hauled by a standard blue 66 the consist always looks the business. Today though, and totally by surprise I had the best formation yet. Ex-TPE Cats 68020 'Reliance' and 68019 'Brutus' roll south across Docker viaduct with the WCML lunchtime regular. I was set up for the usual single loco and using a drone with the inevitable shutter delay this shot required some serious concentration to get the second loco past the catenary post. Really pleased to have bagged this one today.
