This week it's a more distant view of this 'Powerful Giant' overlooking Swithland Sidings, Great Central Railway (GCR), Leicestershire - Happy Telegraph Tuesday (HTT) Everyone!
This giant pylon helps carry extensive overhead power lines across GCR and the image was taken early afternoon on Sunday 3rd October 2021 - Day 4 of GCR's 2021 Autumn Steam Gala.
For the purposes of scale, I've included the stationary goods train in the Up Loop, headed by GWR Hawksworth designed 6959 Class 'Modified Hall' 5MT 4-6-0 No. 6990 Witherslack Hall, to give an idea of scale. Perhaps it's one of the largest pylons in the UK.
Very much hope you are all still keeping safe and well too.
