Curiosity Killed The Cat

This shot is not how I had planned it. I picked this position for the clear view of the track and the ability to get most of the train in the frame, if not all of it. Within a minute of getting there the sheep who were at the bottom of the field saw me and started running up to see what I was doing. Sure enough, by the time the entire flock, most being out of frame to the left, reached the top of the field, the train roared through. Fortunately, they left just enough space for me to capture it between them and the trees.

 

For the record, Colas Grid Class 56 No. 56113 passes Closeburn with 6S36, discharged oil tanks from Dalston Oil Terminal to Grangemouth Ineos on 19th January 2016.
