5043 and 60009 head for York (22-12-12)

Post by Brown Jack »

Hi,

Two steam locos (GWR No 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe and LNER No 60009 Union of South Africa) where passing within a mile of where I live. So although the weather was absolutely appalling, I decided to go for it.
I arrived 25 minutes before 5043 was due, but then, there it was, early, such a scuffle to get the camera out, but managed to get a couple of shots. When 60009 arrived it was 15 Mins late and, the weather had deteriorated ever further.

Have a very Special Christmas & a great New Year.
