Fantastic Chase of the Steam Ferry Run

[NW Mailing List]

I don't think I ever really did a chase like today! Blue sky, steam, what could be better!! I awoke to a heavy fog and was thinking not another nasty day, but i took a chance and headed to Crewe. Got to the bridge over the east end and could see the steamer smoking it up. Finally S11 showed up:

Then 234 with the OLS Catfish leaves town:

Finally the 956 pulls down the backside after facing out the west end and crossing over:
