56105 6Z56 Carlisle - Mossend at Crawford Viaduct

            With Network Rail's NDS still needing to get wagons up to Mossend to form trains for weekend engineering works (these wagons are for a job in the Stirling area) Colas were asked to provide a special Saturday working from Carlisle and in lovely weather for the Clyde Valley 56105 powers 6Z56 Carlisle - Mossend at Crawford Viaduct running on time and sounding great.

To say I was a little cock-a-hoop at getting this rare working in the sun is an understatement - the cloud just clearing as we heard the zing of the tracks as it approached around the bend. The celebratory dance afterwards was met by strange looks by the fisherman lashing the water to death in the Clyde river below..
