This was a solo working along the entire length of the line for the locomotive, with a reduced loading.

This was shot in landscape, but upon closer examination I realised that scaffolding in the garden of the house in the background spoilt what was probably going to be the best of the shots I took at this location (which unlike the previous November, I had to myself on this occasion). Since removing the scaffolding was likely to be a long and complex procedure, I had the idea to recompose to a "portrait" shot, cutting out the problem area entirely.
