Steam in Carlisle!

There were two steam trains in Carlisle station at lunchtime today!

One had come up the Settle/Carlisle route, and the other had come up the West Coast Main line via Shap.

If you follow me on Facebook you can see a short video of this train pulling out of the station...

SR Merchant Navy Class 35018 British India Line

The other steam engine was 48151 Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0 heavy freight engine. See ‘extra’ photo.
