86259, outward leg of The Cumbrian Mountain Express, 07.10 London Euston-Carlisle (1Z86), Ashton Road bridge
It was worth the blustery walk across the field from
home to capture this shot of 86259 'Les Ross/Peter Pan' leading the 1Z86 Cumbrian Mountain Express running from London Euston to Carnforth. Here steam took over to lead the train over Shap to Carlisle and then return south via the Settle and Carlisle to Farrington Junction where the AC electric took over again for the return journey.
