LMS 5690 Leander on KWVR Gala Steam Shuttles 28June09

As part of its June Steam Gala, the Keighley & Worth Valley Rlwy ran a number of mainline shuttles between Keighley and Settle Junction; hauled by LMS 5690 Leander on the outward leg - and then dragged back by a West Coast Railways class 37 diesel, 37516
This clip shows the 2nd train on Sunday 28 June departing Hellifield and then returning with the 37 in charge.
Leander is then seen slowly approaching Gargrave station expecting to stop as it did on the 1st run of the day following a late running Morecambe train. However the signal changed as it came round the corner -- and despite a very warm day we were blessed with a nice display of black smoke.

Many thanks Austin. Hellifield is a lovely station, even if its beginning to look a bit shoddy in places.
