I had travelled behind the locomotive from Washford, on a four-carriage train that was heavily packed, and I'd stood for the duration. This was an attempt to obtain a last photograph of the locomotive before I returned to my holiday accommodation, but the train departed before I could get into a better position, and I lost part of the tender behind the down train.
On what was an overcast weekend, with some rain on the Sunday (fortunately not as much as forecast), this was a rare moment of sunlight on my subject.
