Hymek Hyperventilation
Back to the daily grind this week with my final year of full time education before university. Saturday saw a visit to one of the potential Universities for next year - Leeds - followed by a Health and Safety induction course at the East Lancashire Railway to become a working member today on the Sunday.
After said induction course, it would have been rude not to have snapped the Hymek D7076 working its running day, the chosen location being here on the departure from Summerseat for Bury.
The Autumnal gloom plus the location being situated in a bit of a cutting made for awkward conditions for this shot; increasing the ISO and opening the aperture to f4 just to get 1/160 of a second was the only option. Although I think it came out rather well, especially with the 'Mek's characteristic clag offering an added bonus to the shot.
Maybach Hymek Class 35 D7076 departs Summerseat with a rake of matching MkIs on the 1610 Rawtenstall to Bury Bolton Street - the last Diesel service of the day.
