December 2012

Off to a good start in December with some steamy action, though I still haven't managed a sunny shot of "Tornado" in blue livery... Now I have!

56301 is now leading with failed 56312 behind, but both locos producing voluminous clouds of smoke, as the train approaches Charndon having departed from Claydon L&NE Junction at 11:27, a few minutes earlier than the booked time. It was though 24 hours late as 56312 failed the day before, having got as far as Claydon with 6Z91, the 10:55 fly ash empties from Calvert to Didcot Power Station. 11:28, Tuesday 4th December 2012. Photo taken from a public footpath across the line. Digital Image No. GMPI13101.
