GBRf Class 66

GBRf Class 66 No. 66702 'Blue Lightning' eases 6S50 1216 Carlisle NY - Millerhill departmental from Abington Loop on 3rd March 2017. The train is scheduled to lay over in the loop for around 35 minutes to allow Virgin and Transpennine services to pass, but on this day Virgin's 9S55 to Glasgow Central was running late and so had to follow the freight, no doubt as far as Carstairs. The River Clyde and hills of the Scottish Lowlands provide a pleasing backdrop. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
