As we were taking lunch in a pull-in at Rearsby the AHBs were lowered and we got ready for a train. We were delighted as 44007 'Ingleborough' came into view leading a fantastic mixed fitted freight heading in the Peterborough direction. If anybody can identify what this freight may have been please do get in contact. Notice that the Peak, that had just four months left in service, has lost two of its headcode disks perhaps to trophy hunters? In the days before CCTV I was able to step past the marked lines towards the track without causing unnecessary apoplexy to somebody monitoring the crossing at their distant workstation somewhere!
