JL - 24.8.21 70812 6C89 Mountsorrel - Carlisle, Ais Gill

Colas workhorse 70812 leaves the hard behind it as takes a well earned breather at the start of the long descent to Ormside viaduct with 6C89 Mountsorrel - Carlisle loaded ballast. Seen at Ais Gill road bridge just a minute after I had arrived following a late decision to get out to the lineside. This was a bonus because I was really targeting the following Staycation Express. The 17:18 ex-Skipton has become the best option for that seasonal working in the best quality light. See Quarry Farm for that shot this evening.
