Capturing the Moment
Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 46115 'Scots Guardsman' stands at Newcastle Central with West Coast Railway Company's steam excursion from York to Edinburgh (1Z78).
It was nice to see the drama of the event appealed to folk across the ages!
For the lucky passengers, the journey from here to Edinburgh was a leisurely one taking just over 4 hours - plenty of time to allow the fine dining to digest before a bit of sight-seeing around the hilly Auld Toun!
Steam locos don't feature too often on this stream but, being up in Newcastle for a few days, it seemed like too good an opportunity to miss. Looks best full-screen.
