LMS Black five 44871 was the motive power for the Cumbrian Mountain Express and is seen shutting off due to a caution signal at Shap Summit with her then coming to a standstill around half a mile further north with Southbound trains also at a standstill.

Hello. Those Black five's have their own sound. You could hear it just before they shut it off. It seems strange a freewheeling engine.

Seems like a place where you really don't want to let off the throttle if you can help it.

Is it just me or does that loco never whistle to trainspotters except after stopping.

Depends on who’s driving most of the time.
