46229 Duchess of Hamilton at Cotehill shortly after leaving Carlisle. Although i have always known this as Cotehill, i have heard it called the horse and jockey, if you look at the tree on the left it is obvious why.!!!! Always a popular spot for the ' chase' with the nicely manicured trackside, 18 years on and I am afraid it does not look like this anymore. Having further updates in digital imaging I have reprocessed this image. 46229 CME 13.3.93
 by peter van campenhout. Thirty years ago this year ( 2023 ) 46229 'Duchess Of Hamilton' was still doing fine work on the main line. Here in happier days she powers around Armathwaite Curve in charge of a southbound 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' on March 13th 1993. ( Re-scan and process )46229 At Armathwaite Curve. 13/03/1993
