35018 Speeds Up after Crossing the Batty Moss Viaduct, with Two Freights and a Unit.

Busy, really, for a windswept bridge in the middle of a howling moor! Quarry train crept up while I was trying to drink coffee in a gale. Loco ran round then attached to the other end prior to running back downhill. Then the steam special came, going well, with a roaring 37 behind. When that had gone I looked round to find that the quarry train had almost vanished. Smart work, bobby! (There's only single track over the viaduct, you see, so the steam had to clear it before the freight could move). I see from a different video (Nige757) that there was another stone train waiting to clear the quarry and climb to Blea Moor - hence the haste, no doubt.
