Bahamas on the Cathedrals Express
LMS Jubilee Class No. 45596 'Bahamas' makes a rare appearance in the south of England with some rail tours this summer. The loco is normally based on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.
Passing the gallery of photographers at Crofton, on the Berks & Hants line, Bahamas heads the 'Cathedrals Express' rail tour from London Paddington-Salisbury on a baking hot summers day.
With temperatures nearing 30 degrees, there was little chance of any exhaust, leaving the scene a little lifeless, but the loco looked and sounded superb, with a load 10 and no diesel support.
Taken with the aid of a photographic pole.
