It's coming from that way

The useful thing about level crossings for railway photographers is that the lowering of the barriers gives warning of the imminent approach of a train. What is not always clear though is the direction from which the train will come. I had the idea that I should be looking the other way when this gentleman on his bicycle kindly alerted me to the fast-moving train bearing down in the opposite direction. So it's thanks to Mr Orange-Spectacle-Frames that I was able to snap Class 1144 electric locomotive No. 1144 045 leading a northbound double-headed freight before it thundered past. Zell am See, Saturday 23rd July 2016.
