Photo charter

Photo by John Hardy

It’s that time of year when the summer timetable has finished, the wrong kind of leaves are on the track and so too are the steam photographers. Last Monday and Tuesday the enthusiasts chartered special trains to run them up and down the line. They arrive at a suitable point, hop off and ask the driver to drive past. Inevitably the light changes at the wrong moment and he has to drive by again. So if you look out in the various steam railway magazines in the next couple of months I’m sure you’ll see some stunning images. Here’s a picture of the photographers as they alight on Campbell’s Platform.
