Steam and Diesel Excursions around Carlisle: Black 5 44871, Diesels 57601, 47805, 47810! 17 Feb 24

Steam and Diesel Excursions around Carlisle:
Black 5 44871,
Diesels 57601, 47805, 47810!
17 Feb 24
As well as some of the usual scheduled trains, we see two excursions plus a light engine move.
Black Five 44871 hauled the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express with 57601 at the rear. We see it at Carlisle Citadel Station and heading south on the S&C at Cotehill.
Also at Cotehill, and later at Brisco, just south of Upperby Bridge Junction on the WCML, we see the Settle & Carlisle Circular, this time from Leamington Spa. It ran via the curve from London Road to Upperby, thus avoiding the Citadel station.
As a bonus we have 56105 heading to Carlisle Network Yard after a run out to Doncaster.

ThexBlack 5 looks so natural in the scenery on Settle line. Wonderful filming

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

They are definitely at home around here

[@lesdonaldson520]

The Black 5 looked straight out of the 50s/60s a wonderful sight . Congrats on 5k subs and another great video

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks! It really sparkled especially with its Scottish Region smokebox numberplate.

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

A fine mix, but those pastoral shots are the best. Nice 57 in Carlisle and beautiful steam and 47 out int he country especially! Excellent work!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Very nice spot out in the country you found Leslie. Great bit of filming. Nice to see a Black 5 having a go too. All the best.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks Tim

[@cedarcam]

Lucky the rain held off long enough to get the good views of the charter trains in open country. It poured down all the way home, I got more wet on the bus with its leaky roof though.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

It was starting before I left cotehill and light rain at Bris o. I managed to get from my car to the station when the heavens opened!

[@trainsontuesday]

Another great video Les. Thank you.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks again!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Great video! I was also at Carlisle last Saturday.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Cool! It was a good day

[@pavo45]

Super video!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks

[@stephendavies6949]

The 2 tone green 47s looked great. But the Black 5 looked better!

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

It looks great - its first trip up here this year and really sparkling.

[@teamtrains]

Seeing 44871 today carnforth to Southall WCR

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Cool!

[@mickeybarrass3625]

Great video, as usual Leslie. Whats the best day to visit Carlisle for more freight, is there even a better one. Also good to see some proper 47s, rather than that horrid whiney thing masquerading as a 57. Just thinking of having a dodge over. Havent been to Carlisle in a good while. Thanks for sharing the video , young sir.

[@stephendavies6949]

Yeah, lazy 4 stroke Vs busy bee 2 stroke

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thanks! Best days are during the week but it can vary from day to day as some of what were daily freights are becoming 2 or 3 times a week or not running at all. As to times, there are gaps but the regulars are early morning, mid morning, midday, mid afternoon and then through the evening

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Lol

[@roboftherock]

That day's weather went to hell in a bucket, didn't it. I was amused by the kids waiting to board that TPE service to EDB. I'm not sure which set I prefer, the maroon or the Pullman. A full rake - all the same colour - does look good.

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

The weather did turn! I agree that a uniform set does look smart

[@rxcko172]

Congrats on 5k

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Thank you! 😃
