On a rare sunny day in February, D.O.G. hauled a train load of passengers around some of the most scenic areas in Cumbria, England. Joining the train at Preston, The 'DUKE' proceeded thru Barrow, up the beautiful Cumbrian coast to Carlisle, then back on the return Journey down the West Coast Main Line over Shap.

Well Skip, this little Island of our is surrounded by water, so humidity levels are usually quite high but on this particular day a combination of very light winds under a high pressure system made for some spectacular steam effects. The first part of this rail tour to Carlisle followed the coast line almost continually for something like 80 miles.
