56033 descends the 1 in 70 gradient at Upton Scudamore on 23 September 1986 with the 6V59 09:55 Ardingly to Westbury ARC stone empties. Although this looks historic now, I was much more impressed at the time with the then nearly new 59001 seen earlier in the day at Crofton, also on stone empties. The weather was also much better a few hours earlier! |
