4.11.13 - 37605 & 37259 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe, Docker

Yes was the answer! I was able to jump ahead of 6K05 for a second time and grab a 3rd shot as the attractive working headed south. Seen with the Howgills as a stunning backdrop, DRS's 37605 & 37259 plod through Docker with the afternoon Carlisle - Crewe engineers, made up today of a rake of autoballasters. Suddenly a day that promised little turned out to deliver some fantastic shots with very unusual traction. What a result! This shot was published in Rail Express magazine May 2014 in a feature on the top 25 photographic locations in the UK.
