steam into the station

well it was push and creep but we made it to Preston to catch the steam train - 2 black 5's 'The Lancashire Fusilier' and 'Midlander' pulling with diesel assist to the rear (well we were going over Shap). It was up the west coast main line to Carlisle (whence the picture) and back down the Settle - Carlisle line an dover Ribblehead. Snow all the way and some fab pics of scenary and train buffs. I didn't know they wore goggles when leaning out of the windows for filming or that strange head gear was compulsory - you live and learn!!
