This trip was also promoted by a school in Appleby and ran to Edinburgh with steam to Carlisle.46229 Duchess of Hamilton has just crossed Dry Beck viaduct.The departure was around 8.30AM and there were 2 or 3 pick-ups in the Eden Valley so several locations not normally available were possible but this is the only shot I got with a decent exhaust Copyright David Price No unauthorised use pleaseSteam School Special 2
