Remarks & Notes 
Witherslack Hall #6990 is awaiting departure from the Loughborough station during the blue hour. #6990 was designed by F W Hawkesworth and completed in April 1948 at the Great Western Works at Swindon, by then of course, part of British Railways. The engine was withdrawn on 17th December 1965 and arrived at Woodham’s scrapyard at Barry in February, 1966. It was then purchased by the Witherslack Hall Locomotive Society and arrived at Quorn & Woodhouse, on the present day GCR, on 29th November, 1975. After a prolonged restoration, #6990 entered service on 30th August, 1986. After a successful period of running it was withdrawn for restauration. Witherslack Hall returned to traffic in 2015 and is now in regular service at GCR. Photo charter of TimeLine Events for Tanago.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
