Description
April 1st at Carlisle Citadel Station. A class 70 was sat in Platform 6 having come from Leeds on a route learning turn. When restarted it was quiet and exhaust clear. A similar Colas 70 passed through seemingly in similar condition... or was it.
A day of passing passenger and freight trains, the latter especially in the evening.
