Steam locomotive 43106 Flying Pig approaches Kidderminster Tunnel on the Severn Valley Railway
Nice and shiny - and back on the tracks after being kept in reserve during the previous weekend's Great Western Railway themed Spring Steam Gala. Ivatt Class 4 2-6-0 steam engine number 43106 Flying Pig pulls out of Bewdley with its rake of blood and custard carriages and is about to enter Bewdley Tunnel on the Severn Valley Railway. It was 18 degrees C and there was virtually no visible exhaust on this nice warm March day. The Darlington-built locomotive is hauling the first train of the day - the 10:25 a.m. service from Bridgnorth in Shropshire to Kidderminster in Worcestershire along the 16-mile heritage line on Saturday morning March 29th 2014.
