Excellent timing Steve. I think the shot would not be near as strong if the train were elsewhere on the tracks. Great in B&W.—Steve

Hi Steve,
nice shot and treatment… I just wonder what it would look like if the engine had of been just off the bridge. I can see light under the engine where the front bogey wheels are, perhaps it would have been interesting to see the light under the rest of the engine and it’s full silhouette. It’s still a great photo and looks very nostalgic :-)

Thanks Alan. I’ll try next weekend when Tornado pays a visit over both days.
