Steam loco 43106 at Oldbury Viaduct, SVR.
LMS Ivatt Class 4 2-6-0 steam locomotive 43106, the Flying Pig, crosses the five brick arches of Oldbury Viaduct at Daniels Mill near Bridgnorth in Shropshire on the Severn Valley Railway on January 2nd, 2014. The locomotive is hauling the 12.10 train from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster. The working flour mill has the largest cast iron water wheel in England - at 38 feet in diameter. The history of the mill site dates back to the 15th century. I love this locomotive - and remember seeing many of its class in Lancashire and elsewhere in the 1960s before the end of BR steam. 43106 is the only survivor.
