This train is usually hauled by a Class 66 so it was a pleasant surprise to see DRS 68004 and 68034 double heading 6E73 08:10 Shap Summit Quarry to Doncaster Up Decoy crossing Knott Wood viaduct (aka Lydgate) on the Copy Pit route. The train was slightly early here but came to a stand with the pilot loco just in the trees beyond the viaduct and remained there for about thirty minutes.
Location: Lydgate Viaduct
