Snowploughs in August, Freight around Carlisle 26 08 26

On 26th August I recorded a number of freights and the odd passenger train at Carlisle but the highlight was seeing a pair of Class 37s shunting at Eastriggs as they collected a pair of snow ploughs. These were taken to Carlisle Yard and due to be taken to Fort William on the following day. These were the moves that eluded me on the 24th!

We see various freights and loco moves at carlisle including Class 88s, 66s, 90s and 43s. The 43s were on a test train that should have run from Carlisle to Ayr, back to Carlisle and then up to Edinburgh and round about to Mossend. The first leg didnt run and then the train was moved from the Holding Sidings to High Wapping Sidings for some reason. I saw the technical crew head to the train now in Wapping only minutes before RealTime Trains showed it as cancelled! It ran directly to Mossend that evening.
