It takes two
The second upload from the recent visit to Gauxholme, albeit taken some 40 minutes earlier to the one shared a week or so ago. The cloud was still in the process of burning off and there was a hint of mist in the valley, all making the light a bit softer.
Knowing I'd be snapping DMUs for a while I adopted a different position which I thought suited shorter trains. Luckily a brief interlude of sunshine over the viaduct coincided with the passing of this CAF class 195, unit 195108, working Northern's 10.58am Manchester Victoria - Leeds service (1J08).
If you follow the valley around, you can just see the elegant outline of the classically designed Todmorden Town Hall. Built in 1875, it's certainly one of the most striking, and perhaps even the finest, of buildings in these parts.
A steep-sided valley notorious for the three forms of transport competing for space on its narrow floor, in addition to the railway, you can see the Rochdale Canal and the A6033 road to Manchester in the frame.
Still catching up after a few days away so commenting is turned off for this one, thanks. Better viewed full-screen.
