Railtours and stuff.

[rmt1982]

Went out on Saturday [31st July] morning, with the intention of spending the day walking in the Dales, and getting a few photos of the passing railtours.

I changed my plans however, after arriving at Ribblehead for the first shot, as it got decidedly worse weather wise. In the end, I shot across to Eaglescliffe for the second shot, and then to Darlington for the last two.

1. 
   
   - 37610 leads The 'Cumbrian Crusader III' railtour across Ribblehead Viaduct in what can only be described as grotty conditions.
   
2. 
   
   - 37229 and 37087 approach Eaglescliffe Station with a Ditton - Tees Dock working.
   
3. 
   
   - 66423 passes Snipe Lane, Darlington with a Hull Docks - Coatbridge working.
   
4. 
   
   - 37608 and 37259 pass Snipe Lane with the return 'Cumbrian Crusader III'.

Saw these DRS 37s several times when working in Stroud on their nuclear runs.

Nice stuff

Like the 1st one. Looks quite dramatic!

That DRS Logo doesn't improve a class 37, does it?

That first one is great but would be HOOJLY improved with a big kettle on the front.
