As 66610 slowed its loaded southbound coal train almost to a halt in Oxenholme there was an all pervading smell of hot brakes in the station, a reminder of just how much heat needs to be dissipated controlling these heavy trains on inclines. The train was then signalled into the Up Loop to allow passenger services to overtake, much to the relief of enthusiasts waiting on Platform 1 for the approaching steam special.
