Please tell me the track is still there..
This is the Royal Scot steam train building up a head of steam before leaving the Bridgenorth station of the Seven Valley Railway.
This is a great place for steam buffs and photographers looking for inspiration or a great pint at the pub here.
Shot at Bridgenorth in Shropshire
