An authentic S & C pairing of Class 5 and Jubilee in authentic S & C weather ! 44767 pilots 45596 into Appleby with a Southbound CME that departed after the water stop at dusk. A few optimistic photographers can be seen braving the conditions but it was rare by this time for people to bother given such a forecast. APPLEBY 18TH DECEMBER 1993
