Classics at Coleham.

The night is heading in from the east and chasing the last of the blue hour away.

This is Coleham Yards in Shrewsbury. 97303 stands in the foreground all prepped up and ready to depart with the 3S71 2113 Coleham Yard to Coleham Yard RHTT. The route will take her to Machynlleth and back where 56051 and 56049 will take over TnT. Their route will take them to Bidston and back to Shrewsbury before heading to Holyhead via Crewe and return. I would later rendezvous with this working at Holyhead around mid dayish the following day.

Also visible in this shot are 56078, 97301 and 302.

I was pushing my luck with this night time drone shot, luckily winds were low and i managed a couple of sharp shots. 90% of the pictures i took during this evening ended up on the edit room floor. Patience is required when conducting night time shoots with drones and a good feel for the wind.
