Aggregates from Arcow

In the early evening light, GBRf Class 66, no.66779 'Evening Star' approaches Hellifield with the 6E77 16:43 Arcow Quarry to Hunslet aggregates train. I've always loved the wonderful Midland Railway architecture at Hellifield Station, and I wanted to make a feature of it using the platform canopy in this shot.

 

2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle (of which I'm very proud to be a member) with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members' work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.

 

The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers, with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the last 50 years.

 

The book, called '50 Years of Phoenix' is available to buy now. Click on the link below to order your copy:
