I thought today's upload would have to be modern traction.... until Sybilla pulled into Whitby station while I was waiting for my train home.
See what I mean about the weather? For a long time before the train arrived, there was glorious sun on the viaduct and all around. As soon as the 20s appeared about half a mile away, it clouded over. 20304 and 20303 cross Knucklas viaduct with Pathfinder Railtours’ “The Heart of Wales Explorer,” 1Z29 16:35 Llandrindod Wells to Derby, the first time since 1997 that Class 20s have worked the line. Naturally, the weather didn’t play ball.

“It was lots of fun,” Bellefonte Central Railroad office employees exclaimed as they arrived at the State College depot after the 18 mile journey from Bellefonte in the cab of a locomotive. The ride was occasioned by a new diesel engine, replacing steam power on the railroad.

Als full time vader en echtgenoot sta ik, op de incidentele hoofdlijnritten van de SSN of VSM en de evenementen na, bijna niet meer langs het spoor. Wat ik aan NS (of andere maatschappijen) materieel fotografeer is vaak bijvangst van stoom of museummaterieel waar ik voor op uit was getrokken. Gelukkig komt het nog wel een enkele keer voor dat ik even tijd heb, maar dat is helaas maar sporadisch.
As a full-time father and husband I hardly make pictures of regular trains. Almost only when the SSN or VSM has one of their rare main line trips, I am able to catch some regular trains too. So what I catch with my camera of the NS (or other companies) trains is often a side catch of steam or museum material passing by. Fortunately I do find occasionally some time to make pictures.
Water leaking out of one of the heads wasn't a good sign at all. Worst case scenario, the heads cracked. Best case scenario, its just the gasket. Luckily, it was just the gasket.

The locomotive to the right is a GE B36-7 # 5834 (former SAL) that's wearing Seaboard System paint.

Arthur Wright was built for use at the East Midlands Gas Board. Her first area of work was at Carr House Works in Rotherham, before moving to Derby in the 1960s. Afterwards she was sold to Albert Looms in 1970 and worked for the company until 1974, and was sold into private hands. Arriving in early 1975, she was repainted and named after the late Arthur Wright, a director for the MLST. In her earliest years of preservation she was proven to be a valuable asset to the railway, when run-round facilities were very limited. However, she is now in store at Swithland, awaiting a much-needed overhaul. (Source: Wikipedia). Photograph taken from a moving carriage window using a Pentax K-5 with an SMC Pentax K 50mm f1.2 lens.
