JL - 6.3.23 66056 6K27 Carlisle Yard - Crewe, Elmsfield

Working in Lancashire with an afternoon return journey north brought with it the chance to duck in at Elmsfield for the anticipated southbound freights. I wasn't in time for the preceding Grid hauled Longport ballast or the logs but I did manage the third working which was the semi-regular 6K27 Carlisle Yard - Crewe Basford Hall engineers. If it does run this working can produce some interesting consists and today was no exception. Seen passing a sunlit Elmsfield behind an ex-works 66056 with a few cab front modifications.
