JL - 8.1.18 GBRf team at Ribblehead ground frame awaiting 6E44

No mistakes this time!
After the aborted attempt to operate the Ribblehead - Shap Harrisons diagram before Christmas there were many GBRf men on site to ensure today's operation ran smoothly. The reason for the previous cancellation was wagons 'contaminated' with left over stone from a previous working. This meant the whole lot had to work back to Doncaster. This time there was no mistake and after backing into the siding the GBRf chaps inspected each wagon. Just a few of the gang are seen huddled on the Ribblehead ground frame as the inbound working (6E44 Hexthorpe - Ribblehead) worked up from Settle Junc.
