37102 and 37030 crawl past Greenholme after restarting the Clitheroe - Gunnie cement.  They suffered a total power failure grinding out of Tebay and came to a stand within 50 metres, just after the signal in the distance.  After a long delay, the crew managed to restart the load and the wheels were barely turning as it passed us.  Just as well as you can see the shadows of the wheels on the far track, this was the last of the light.  We listened to it for twenty minutes before we left.  I don't think it increased much till Shap Summit was reached.  Pentax 6x7 1st September 1983
