London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class 5596 (BR number 45596) Bahamas is a preserved British steam locomotive. It is named after The Bahamas.
The locomotive was built as a standard Jubilee Class in 1934 by the North British Locomotive Company for the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). In May 1961, under the ownership of British Railways, Bahamas was the recipient of several experimental modifications aimed at improving the steam engine. In July 1966, Bahamas was withdrawn from traffic. A preservation society was founded and raised the money to purchase it from British Rail to prevent it from being scrapped. After repairs by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds Bahamas was transported to Dinting Railway Museum, near Glossop, Derbyshire
Jubilee class 45596 Bahamas runs through Ropley at night on the Mid Hants Railway (The Watercress Line) with a local goods. 23rd October 2020. More Jubs at - davebowles.smugmug.com/Railways/London-Midland-and-Scotti...

As we were disembarking, I put down my camera bag and pulled out my camera much to the dismay of a gentleman behind me who had to divert to go around me. I heard him mutter to his spouse, crazy, what the hell he is doing and taking a picture of, it’s just the ocean. Every time I see this image I remember that and how it’s a part of who I am to stop and capture with camera, phone or in my mind when something catches my eye. The simplicity of this image and the way the colors play so well together, I’m still glad I stopped many many years later. A fresh tweak of a simple black anchor with rust on-top, barnacle on its submerged end contrasted by the turquoise waters of Port Prince George Wharf in Nassau in the Bahamas with the colored strands of rope that were draped off the end of the vessel.
