'The Dalesman' - 24 Aug 2021 - LMS Jubilee no 45562 - 'Sierra Leone' - Ribblehead and Penrith

Today's Dalesman charter train came from Chester to Carlisle, north via the Settle line and south via the West Coast Main Line. Steam haulage was with LMS Jubilee class no 45562 'Sierra Leone' north from Hellifield to Carlisle, and south from Carlisle to Carnforth.
Seen here at Ribblehead (where I arrived with minutes to spare so not the best of locations), and south at Kettleside Bridge just north of Penrith.

Superb video Julian. I really liked the clip of the train disappearing into the distance at Ribblehead. Regards, Jeff.

[@JulianThurgood]

Thanks Jeff. I like Ribblehead, even though its 90 miles from where I live. So many different locations to film from.

[@christophernewman5027]

As usual, absolutely splendid.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the nice comment.

Very interesting! Kettleside Bridge I have seen on my travels and often wondered . . . .

[@JulianThurgood]

Thanks Alan. Its very noisy there from passing traffic. But its ok if you don't want to walk any distance.

[@CrossfellRailwayVideos]

Maybe not as noisy as Scout Green?

[@JulianThurgood]

@@CrossfellRailwayVideos - Not a constant roar like Scout Green - but that road over the bridge links the M6 to the A6 and has lots of close passing traffic. Could be lucky with nothing for the few mins that the train passes though.

Nice one Julian, considering you arrived just in the nick of time it’s a different shot looking down the road and I think it worked really well from there, I was just up from you at Kitchenhill for the return, cheers 👍

[@JulianThurgood]

Thanks Nige. Yes the Ribblehead shot works ok considering!
I went to Kitchenhill bridge an hour early - and someone was there already sat in his little camping chair! Was that you? No room for 2 there so i went back to the big bridge.

[@nige7577]

@@JulianThurgood no it wasn’t me, I was a bit further up where the road runs parallel to the track

[@JulianThurgood]

I am a bit confused!
This loco used to be 45699 Galatea, then in Nov 2019 was repainted and changed to 45562 Alberta, then renamed again in 2021 to 45627 Sierra Leone.
The loco in this video has 45627 on the front, and 45562 on the side.
