5407, return leg of The Cumbrian Mountains Express, Hellifield-Carnforth, Giggleswick 5407 wearing its authentic LMS black lined livery and number is seen broadside working hard climbing away from Settle Junction on the 1:100 rising gradient near Low Paley Green. Once passengers arrive at the train's destination they will have to have made their own onward return arrangements as, unusually, the charter originated at Carlise but was returning to Carnforth. This particualar Black five was one of the steam locomotives to make it right to the end of steam in August 1968. It was immediately bought for preservation for the grand total of £3,300 and then purchased by Paddy Smith who operated it for a number of years most notably on the early Jacobite charters in Scotland.
