Black 5's are one of my favourite sounding locos - Terrific to have 2 running in close proximity to each other on the ECML for the York Christmas Festival on 18/11/23.
See West Coast operated 44871 arriving into Peterborough first, having spent the summer in Scotland operating Jacobite services across West Highland line.
Next up is LSL loco 45231 'The Sherwood Forester' working a similar Steam Dreams service up to York.
Both locos sound absolutely amazing - That Black 5 whistle is so distinctive and both locos provided great departures from Peterborough.
The video ends with a couple of freight moves that passed through the station whilst waiting for the Black 5's.
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.
