Eldroth
Preserved K1 No. (6) 2005 and Black 5 No. 5407 are producing copious quantities of steam on a cold and unpleasant day as they approach the summit of the 'Little North Western' just east of Eldroth with the Carnforth to Hellifield leg of the Cumbrian Mountain Pullman on 5th February 1983. The train would continue north from Hellifield in deteriorating conditions behind Midland Compound 1000 and 5690 'Leander' only to be terminated at Appleby due to an incident on the WCML which resulted in the S&C being required as a diversionary route. Participants returned south by service train. With thanks to Messrs Smith, Webb, Greig, Butterworth and Morgan.
