66063 Harringworth Viaduct
It was a cold and misty morning, graced by a cloudless sky which had been forecast.
Just before the viaduct, southbound trains crawl through Seaton Tunnel, where there is presently a 10mph temporary speed restriction. I had to watch carefully, as the first thing I would know of an approaching train would be the headlight shining through the mist.
I had screwed my 'bean bag' to the camera, and rested it on the branch of a tree to prevent blur - the shot being taken with the lens at full zoom of 300mm. The camera was reluctant to auto focus, there being very little contrast, and several attempts were needed to get the shot, despite several trial shots working fine!
The loco is above the 5th of the 82 arches that make up the longest viaduct in the UK.
6V94 Margam - Corby steel coils.
Best viewed 'large'.
