Debut did you say? Yes, somehow this is the first time 46100 has traversed the Settle Carlisle in the preservation era. My question to the audience is; did it ever run over the Long Drag in BR or LMS times?

The Scot is seen passing Froddle Crook with the returning Fellsman of Wednesday 26th August 2020. Just round the corner, beyond the bridge in the distance was the location of the Eden Brows landslip which closed the line for over a year in 2016.

As a heavy shower recedes, a welcome burst of sunlight illuminates 46100 'Royal Scot', as it takes the southbound Fellsman tour train past Crosby Garrett on 26th August 2020. (As all rail photographers will know, it usually works the other way round!)
