47593+47614 Largin Viaduct
Camouflaged by vast swaves of woodland in the valley at Two Waters Foot, the impressive Largin Viaduct is Grade II* listed and carries the Cornish mainline over it, at this stage single line to reduce load bearings on the vulnerable structure. Opportunities to photograph interesting workings crossing it are few and far between and a pair of Duffs on a sunny Sunday morning seemed a good chance to nail the location.
LSL provided motive power in the form of Largo Logo 47593 "Galloway Princess" and BR Blue 47614 (47853) which are seen crossing the viaduct with the 1Z28 09.37 Penzance-York "Cornish Explorer Statesman", returning a weekend excursion northwards. The light caved in no more than 10 minutes afterwards, as can be seen by the clouds bubbling up in the background - little to say we were extremely relieved!
