Star Light on the "Pines Express"
Worth the long wait... About 40 minutes after getting off the train those of us who decided to do so were rewarded by this shot of BR Standard Class 9F 92214 dressed up as 92220 "Evening Star" set against a grey sky as it passes Woodthorpe on the Great Central Railway. The day was partly to commemorate 50 years since the closure of the Somerset and Dorset Railway, so this was a Timeline Events recreation of the "Pines Express", the premier service over that route.
