In typical wintry S&C conditions 6201 'Princess Elizabeth' grinds her way to Ais Gill, Ethel in tow with The Pennine Limited March 14th 1987. The weather was appalling but still the bridge and the B6259 was crammed full of of cars and people to witness the spectacle. After a long hard climb Lizzie was at crawling pace at this point but managed to get over the top, as you would expect from such a magnificent machine. Hopefully we will get to see her on this route again after her overhaul at Carnforth.
