66246 passes Metal Bridge on 17 May 2002 with the 6S14 10:21 Warrington to Ayr MGR empties. This loco was exported to France in 2007. Although this is in the sparsely populated flat landscape between Carlisle and the River Esk, there was formerly a station next to the level crossing that can just be seen in the distance.
