Colas Rail 70802 crosses the A66 on its approach to Appleby station working the 6J37 1252 service from Carlisle Yard to Chirk Kronospan on Thursday 2nd January 2025. The former Eden Valley Line from Kirkby Stephen to Penrith swung in from the west between the trees and the overbridge, then followed the dual carriageway route north to Crackenthorpe. In the distance Blencathra rises to 2,848 feet, towering over the Eden Valley and making this Class 70 locomotive look like a model.
