Country Des-Res

This is a different angle that I haven't tried before, featuring the Rylstone branch near Skipton. It was a very overcast and gloomy evening, and the scene just seemed to shout 'monochrome', so that was how I'd pre-visualised it. I also wanted to include the old barn to add some further character and interest to the scene.

 

GBRf 66718 'Sir Peter Hendy CBE' brings its train of loaded hopper wagons very gingerly around the lower end of the reverse curve, which is such an attractive feature of this line. The working is the 18:20 Rylstone to Hull Dairycoates.

 

If you're interested in an alternative angle on railway photography, why not take a look at the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle on their website: www.phoenix-rpc.co.uk
