4472, outward leg of The North Yorkshireman, Carnforth-Skipton, Melling SD603711
An unusual angle from the top of the portal of
the 57 chains (1254 yards) long Melling tunnel 4472 'Flying Scotsman' is seen working hard leading the outward leg of The North Yorkshireman railtour. A short distance beyond the tunnel is Wennington where the train paused giving us enough time to pile back in the Mini and race there to secure some more shots of it leaving.
