60103 22.03.1995 Llangollen
Since the lines re-opening one of the " jewel " pictures was that of a train crossing the River Dee, especially so in early spring and the autumn months. For a number of weeks 60103 Flying Scotsman visited the line and was used extensively on driver training runs which were outside of the normal operating trains.
FS crosses the Dee Bridge with a lightly loaded training run on a sunny spring day.
Access to the location was by a unauthorised walk across the tracks and through a gate down to the River bank, in recent times the land has been sold or leased to another party and is now (legally) out of bounds for photography which is a great pity.
