A quick drive from Falahill to get ahead of the steam tour and I find a perfect spot near to Torsonce, south of Stow. With hardly any exhaust 60009 comes into view.
As a farmer goes about their business ploughing a field, No9 is caught by the wonderful sunlight as drifts down grade at 1 in 175 at this spot.
Bringing the lens out to record the whole train I was amazed I was alone here. Due to the numerous 20mph speed restrictions over many of the bridges it was quite easy to get ahead of the train after Falahill.
