I've noticed that not all Colas Rail movements are shown on Real Time Trains, and in this particular case, if it was not for a prompt I noticed on the gen group Scotland Rail, and more importantly, the Realtime Maps map for Shap, available on Freightmaster, I may have missed this northbound light-engine move at 10.20. Running as 0Z60 09.32 Warrington Bank Quay to Carlisle Yard, with 60085 hauling 56302 "Peco The Railway Modeller 2016 70 Years", up the hill.

The Grid is a bit special to me, given that I was present at its naming in June 2016, but this was my first sighting since then. It has spent much of 2017 working off Grangemouth, and was returning north after a brief visit to Washwood Heath.
