Galatea at Ais Gill
by pgweber
Ex-LMS No. 45699 'Galatea' is seen working hard just before the summit of the line on the return leg of "The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express" from Carlisle to London on Saturday 24th February 2018.
The other train I went to see was supposed to be hauled by No. 60163 'Tornado', but due to a fault with electronic safety equipment, she was led by a diesel locomotive and the wind blew the steam towards me and partially obscured the loco anyway.
If you travelled by train how did you get to Ais Gill - did you take your bike on the train with you.

I seem to have got out of the habit of going out to take railway photographs recently but I shall take your words as encouragement to resume.

Drifting steam as you described, spoiled my shot of Tornado at Dandry Mire viaduct (Garsdale).
