Its behind you
The backstory to this, is this was towards the end of a long day involving a 3 hour walk up and 2 hour walk down Ben Nevis from Fort William.
Whilst the usual evening beers were taken around a beach bar-be-cue, I headed to Spean Bridge to capture the North Blyth to Fort William tanks passing the historic signal box. Arrival on the platform left me with a dilemma as mid platform was a couple having their wedding photograph taken. I waited patiently so as not to disturb them and as the last photograph was taken 66738 came around the corner. The remnants of the shoot remain on the platform, just out of shot the photographer. Interestingly the wedding photos also include a shot of the 66 passing the box as the photographer instantly ignored the couple to phot the train and he then ran up onto the bridge to catch a shot of the train waiting for the southbound sleepers. I assume he returned to the wedding after the train had passed.
