JL - 25.11.20 68017 & 68016 6K05 Carlisle - Crewe, Ais Gill MP260

A unusual DRS traction combination turned up on K05 this afternoon. Running around 25 mins behind the earlier southbound gypsum empties, 68017 and immaculate stablemate 68016 make light work of a featherweight Carlisle - Crewe engineers as they approach Ais Gill summit at MP 260. The fast dropping sun lengthening the shadows on Wild Boar Fell.
