Stanier 8F 48151 hustles a long train of WCRC stock over the reinforced embankment at Bay Horse. A TPE 350 and Virgin Voyager were close on its heels and the train was looped at Oubeck to allow them to pass. This was an ECS working from Burton-on-Trent to Carnforth on 26th August 2019 and West Coast Railways clearly have a lot of confidence in the old 2-8-0 as it had worked south two days previously see image 70105, had then taken an excursion to Stratford-upon-Avon and back and was now returning to Carnforth, all without any diesel assistance.
