46233 'Duchess Of Sutherland' passes the site of Crosby Garrett station with the southbound 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' - 1Z89 14:28 Carlisle to Euston. 22/5/2013.The Duchess At Crosby Garrett.
 at , Crosby Garrett, England, United Kingdom by Neil Harvey 156. 46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' puts everything she has into the final few hundred yards near the summit of Ais Gill heading the 1Z89 14:28 Carlisle to London Euston 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' on Wednesday 22nd May 2013. The 12C temperature and firing at the right moment produced a satisfying amount of clag for this time of year. The exhaust trail also behaved itself with the strong north-westerly wind. This is a classic location, a photographic position that I have never used before, and I wasn't disappointed with what I experienced. The cloud shadow was moving faster than the train and in the same direction, so I was extremely fortunate. © Gordon Edgar - All rights reserved.
