Having been refuelled, 44004 heads back out to rejoin its freight from earlier. Notice the spot on its bodyside where the 'Great Gable' nameplate was attached. This particular Lakeland mountain has always been an important one to me as it was the first major peak that I climbed with my mum and dad when I was five years old! 45068 waits patiently behind 44004 to perform a similar move once the Peak has exited the depot. The signal with a describer of some kind is just in front of the access road into the depot that crosses the line to my immediate left. There were no lights or crossing gates but I suppose common sense prevailed with staff using their eyes before driving over the track!
