Autumn chocolate box
If you like chocolate boxes, and let's be fair at this time of year they can be quite appealing, then this might be the shot for you.
Discarded in favour of a more arty upload a week or so ago, this one again features the 9.30am Arpley - Tunstead (6H02) hauled by DB Cargo 'Tug' 60044 'Dowlow' at Chinley, captured this time on the approach against a not-so-shabby autumn backdrop.
Note the faded 169 milepost, just to the right of the loco. Positioned beside what would have been a four-track alignment when installed, this would have been the distance to London St Pancras via the now closed route through Bakewell of the old Midland Railway. It's good to see a bit of history still surviving.
Processed at high-res, so it will stand full-screen viewing.
Commenting turned off, thanks.
