Unlike 2018, there was no chance of a steam ban four years ago, in the summer of 2014! Despite having apparently suffered problems on the northbound leg earlier in the day, Stanier 'Jubilee' class 4-6-0 45699 'Galatea' slowly but positively climbs past Angerholm towards the summit of Ais Gill with the return southbound leg, the 1Z53 15:34 Carlisle to Lancaster 'Fellsman' on Wednesday 2nd July 2014. © Gordon Edgar - All rights reserved.
