The fading light of a winter afternoon catches rebuilt Patriot 45532 'Illustrious' as it waits in the coaling line at Carlisle Upperby MPD. Although there is plenty of steam activity in the shed yard on 18th February 1963, a diesel shunter and two English Electric Type 4s can be seen lurking in the background.
