CARLISLE CITADEL STATION in JUNE 1987

Upon my visit to Carlisle station I was fortunate enough to witness the last BR mainline passenger service over the S & C, diagrammed for a class 40 locomotive. This was the 12.37 Carlisle to Leeds service and was hauled by 40122. Main WCML services were in the hands of AC Electrics mainly and many of the long haul freight as well. A DMU arrived from Barrow in splendid Green livery which made the scene very nostalgic. Enjoy the smokey departures as the trains make their way to their destinations, apart from the "Electrics" of course.
