Galloping Galatea

by davidtrout

The Jubilee Class loco Galatea hauled a tourist charter train from York to Carlisle on Saturday. The train was called The Hadrian because it ran from Tyneside to Carlisle via the Tyne Valley line - following the route of Hadrian's Wall.
Here its charging through Durham station at high speed, and from the sound of the exhaust on full regulator.

Wouldn't it be nice to see a uniform maroon rake behind it! A beauty!
