JL - 28.2.18 66149 4M00 Mossend - Clitheroe, Ais Gill

What if the S&C had been reduced to single track? The covering of snow on the down line gives that impression as 66149 blasts through the frozen tundra-like scene at Ais Gill with 4M00 Mossend - Clitheroe empty cement tanks. With the 'Beast from the East' keeping Cumbria in it's icy grip conditions were as extreme today as I've ever seen them. Wind chill was well below -12 and sat at Ais Gill for well over an hour, the snow plough was the only other vehicle to pass.
