North Yorkshireman Settle Junction North Yorkshire 25th May 1981

            LNER A4 Pacific 4498 (BR 60007) Sir Nigel Gresley heads the returning North Yorkshireman steam railtour on the Midland Railway at Settle Junction. The Settle & Carlisle line can be seen to the right, the start of the gradient on the Long Drag being obvious as our train took the lower route west.

The tour started in London behind electric traction and steam took over, 4498 pulling the railtour from Carnforth to Keighley - for a day on the KWVR - and back to Carnforth. I had travelled from Leicester and joined the tour at Preston.
