The last up train of the day left Grosmont about 8 minutes down. Q6 63395 fronts 2P15 1650 off Grosmont to Pickering. The timing is perfect as the falling sun just catches the top of the track bed and the train.
The train is a rake of seven mkI coaches all in BR carmine and cream livery and look just superb.
The 0-8-0 tender loco gets to grips with the 2 1/2 mile long climb at 1 in 49 to Goathland with its seven mkI coaches on the drawbar. The train passes the former miners cottages at Esk Valley. What a lovely view!
