Smokers' Corner
In typical timing the one southbound stopping train per hour almost coincides with a northbound passing freight, making for a few twitchy minutes ahead of their imminent arrival.
The freight is the 10.01 Washwood Heath - Peak Forest Cemex (4M11) in the hands of DB Shed no. 66200, seen powering its way through the splendid MR stone-lined cutting at Belper, as the 11.36 Matlock - Newark (2N35) heads away from the station with EMT's class 158 no. 158780 doing the honours.
The exhaust display evident in the backlight might not appeal to the environmentalists, but at least pleased the photographer. Taken looking under the King Street overbridge.
