As mentioned earlier in the collection, the locomotive spent most of the day giving brakevan rides at Parkend and is seen just south of the station on one of these.
Despite what it may look like, I was not trespassing. At this point, a public footpath crosses the line, and I was behind a fence separating this path from the trackbed.
