JL - 2.5.20 66523 6Y52 Farringdon Junc - Carlisle, Shap Wells

With the UK on corona virus lock down, Government guidance allows us to go out for 1 hours exercise per day and even then this can't be too far from home. Realistically, this limits me to a stretch of the S&C and a very short section of the WCML. This Sunday I took my exercise in the form of a walk around the paths at Shap Wells to coincide with the 2 engineers workings that were expected to work north from Farringdon Junc to Carlisle Yard. Both diagrams were FHH 66 hauled and appeared within minutes of each other on the final climb to Shap. I could see the second as I photographed the first. 66523 works hard as she slowly slogs through Shap Wells with 6Y52 Farringdon Junc - Carlisle Yard engineers.
