As stated previously, the locomotive stayed on the line until the last weekend of August, and on the penultimate weekend of the month, I revisited the line to catch up with the locomotive. As often seems to be the case, the August weather was much improved over the gala weekend's, and I was able to photograph the locomotive at Cheltenham Racecourse, which I hadn't managed on the two previous visits.
With this photograph, I deliberated underexposed it in order to maintain the skyline. I succeeded in this, but ended up with a rather underexposed locomotive and this was the result of my attempts to correct this.
