60095 passes Ribblehead with 6J37 12:58 Carlisle Yard to Chirk loaded log train. 20/1/2016. This was the first modern traction picture I'd taken in 2016, due to adverse weather. Not a bad start!

37706 approaches Long Preston with the Branch Line Society's "Ermintrude, Dougal and Florence Tracker" (!) - 1Z23 07:20 Carnforth to Cleethorpes. 23/1/2016. To be honest, I wasn't intending to do this when I left home, but as I was in the area I thought I'd give it a coat of looking at. The fact that it was hauled by a Tractor was a nice surprise, even one in the horrible West Coast livery.

66714 "Cromer Lifeboat" crawls towards Long Preston with 6H82 23:53 (Fri) Hunterston to Drax loaded coal. 23/1/2016. This was totally off my radar but a quick look at RTT informed me that it was on its way and it would have been rude not to. Good job it was crawling as the light was so low!
