Empty Steel
It all started so very promising, this very bright & sunny morning, but things didn’t pan out as I planned. I wanted to get a shot of the drag from Reading to Ilford here, but that was running nearly 2 hours late, so I decided on a couple of shots here before moving on further down the line to Canonbury.
But as the morning wore on, the cloud rolled in, and the sun became quite intermittent. This was my 3rd attempt at a shot of a working here, after the first 2 were in cloud. Here DB Class 66/0 No.66117 is seen working the 08:09 4E26 Dollands Moor Sidings to Scunthorpe Redbourne Sidings empty steel carriers. Seen on the North London Line at West Hampstead on the 2nd of September 2019, at the point where it crosses the Midland main line.
Taken with the aid of a pole.
Thanks to Jamie Sqiubbs for the inspiration for this shot!
