This was taken on the "Cumbrian Mountain Express" railtour which I was a passenger on, and taken during a water stop at Garsdale. Although I subsequently had several more encounters with the locomotive, this was the only time I ever travelled behind it.
With the locomotive now retired, it seems unlikely I will be able to repeat this scene with a digital camera, and so I've decided to re-scan the print and add this to collection.
