44767 blasts up the gradient towards Cauldon Lowe.mpg

44767 proves its worth on the Cauldon Lowe branch on 24 November 2010 as it takes the first train of the day up the 1 in 45 just east of 'Illegal' Crossing. It was banked by 37 075 but the latter was just ticking over when it passed the video location allowing the Black 5 to do all the work!

Very atmospheric and working hard. It certainly sounded good at 'Illegal crossing'.

Thanks, Tarboat - Unfortunately, the footage I took at the actual crossing was useless - I had unfortunately left the camera in 'Nightshot' mode (from Saturday's beer train) and so it appeared totally over-exposed. I was livid! Good job, then, that I had the 'back-up' camera running 200 yds up the line, although the position there was not as good!

@buxton4472 If it's any comfort I also left my camera on the previous evening's setting and seriously underexposed my shots at the same place. I have, however, been able to retrieve the situation.
