We had a day out to Carlisle by train on Saturday travelling north along the East Coast Main Line to Durham before turning and heading west to Carlisle.
The train was a special charter train hauled to York by diesel. For the remainder of the journey it was steam hauled by 60009 Union of South Africa.
Both locomotives are pictured at Carlisle station where the weather was bright and sunny but cold. As we sped north, I just managed a few pictures, taken through the train windows, of the flooded fields and snowy conditions It was a bit of a task to keep the window clear of condensation and there was plenty of steam and smoke from our locomotive.

You managed to find the snow then. It looks rather cold, I hope you wrapped up well.
