All The Best!
Compliments of the season to the Flickr railway community and thanks too, particularly to those of you who comment on my work.
This years festive image comes from 28 February 2018 during a period that would become known as “The Beast from the East”. Here 66090 is about to depart the British Gypsum sidings at Kirkby Thore with 6E95, the 1044 Newbiggin – Hull Docks empty gypsum bogie box wagons.
Myself and Richie B decided it would be a good idea to go and photograph the S&C line by driving on single track roads that were under 20 cm of snow that had not seen a snowplough or gritter! We had to guess where the road was by hoping it was equidistant from the hedges on either side. Although we knew those roads quite well when they were visible, it was quite disorienting in a white out. God only knows where we would’ve been without OS maps on Richie’s phone telling us our location and we only slithered uncontrollably down a hill the once.
