'Caroline' & 37418 out-and-about again around the local network - 3913+921

* Ecclesfield West
Its been a while since this set was last seen in this area and in fact it was during a passage of the exact same set, through the 'Wharncliffe Greenwood', in early May this year when all and sundry were greening up as Spring got underway, see the video here-

First up on arrival was a large amount of vegetation clearance, the whole scene here has changed dramatically since the installation of the heavily engineered bridge with metal walls and palisade fencing everywhere, a big contrast to when, a few years ago, the shots were easy to take, in both directions, now not so.. The only easy view, without steps, is towards the north and this early morning shot sees first some regular passenger traction in the form of a class 195 Northern DMU, heading south towards Sheffield. This is the a 'CAF, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A.', 'Civity', this one 195006 and its running to time on the 1Y11, Leeds via Sheffield to Nottingham service. Also now largely hidden from view at this time of year, the old industrial buildings at the side of the line just to the side of which a siding came off and extended along towards the back of the 195 where, just about, the old Midland Ecclesfield West Signal Box once used to be located; the box still appearing in the working time-table, even though it was removed decades ago..
In the right-hand shot, following the just departed DMU about 8 minutes later, the business end of the day out for some folk, in the form of 'Inspection Saloon', 'Caroline', 975025. came gliding around the corner just this side of where the box used to be, pushed by class 37, 37418, ex-D6971, 'An Comunn Gaidhealach' with B.R. 'Highland Rail motif' and the B.R. large 'Double-Arrow InterCity Logo' on the side. This is a section of a long day's run, following on from yesterday when the set went north to the Newcastle and Carlisle area from Derby R.T.C., this is the 2Z04 working, from York Station via B.V.L., Blackburn Valley Line, here, and on to Sheffield.
