UK Mainline steam

My favourite shots from the UK mainline. (Latest first)

A1 Pacific 60163 'Tornado' storms past Helwith Bridge on 15th February 2017 whilst heading the 10.44 Skipton to Appleby service. The loco and coaches had been drafted in by Northern Rail in a planned move to replace the normal DMU stock on this service. Marketed as 'England's first steam hauled timetabled train since the 1960's, passengers paid only the normal public fare to ride behind this iconic locomotive!
