Description
In todays video we have a GBRF freight train rescue seen heading south along the west coast main line at Bamfurlong south of Wigan on the afternoon of Wednesday 8th December 2021 in awful weather conditions. 60026 "Helvellyn" in Beacon Rail Leasing livery was the rescue locomotive for GBRF standrad liveried tug 60087 with the full train of aggreagtes from Shap Quarry.

60087 decided on sitting down in Grayrigg loops overnight was the issue I believe. We see the train running on the slow lines to keep out of the way of passanger services running just over 8 hours late. Ironic that the train actually passes the trains true destination of Kelbits at Ashton which is just 2 miles south of me here.
