Forging through the rain, 60103 'Flying Scotsman' accelerates away from Dandry Mire viaduct on the approach to Garsdale station heading the 1Z64 17:34 Carlisle to York 'Waverley' charter on Sunday 22nd August 2021. Scorching on the smokebox door is evident, which had presumably occurred during this return working. The open firebox door is seen to be illuminating the fireman in these extremely dull and wet conditions. Heavy rain is a sure way of dampening down the 'Flying Scotsman mania', such as I had experienced earlier in the day further south. © Gordon Edgar - All rights reserved.
