66179 6X66 @ Dalton 25/03/2024

Owing to the derailment at Grange-over-Sands the previous week, 66179 was sent to the site via the Cumbrian Coast, working 6X66 Carlisle-Ulverston with a huge NR crane in tow in preparation for lifting 195104 back on to the track. It was running in excess of 45 minutes late here owing to speed restrictions which meant it crawled through Dalton at no more than 3mph. Despite the conditions it was well worth a look to capture this bit of history and since DB no longer work the coast, it's rare to see their locos in this region, let alone an ex-euro shed one.
