47853 Rail Express & 47839 Pegasus, 1Z93, Long Preston, 5 July 2008 - 1633 Compass's Cumbrian Fellsman charter ran from Stafford via the Cumbrian coast to Carlisle, then over the S & C. Because the Hellifield - Clitheroe line was closed for relaying, it reversed at Hellifield and regained the WCML via Carnforth. This shot shows the train approaching Hellifield, with both locos working.
