Notes :
(1) 37798 & 37518 on rear.
(2) 47819 on rear.
(3) 47819 failed near milepost 67 - variously reported as an oil leak or ran out of fuel (confirmation of which is required).
(4) Plus 47819 dead-in-tow.
(5) The stop at Cross Gates turned into an impromptu photo-stop caused by a crew change - the crew were on the unit behind the tour and so had to get out and walk forward to the take over the train!
