Participated in a dawn-to-dusk photocharter at the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire, England. Dubbed "8F 48305 on the Minerals" for the locomotive and consist, here are a few mementos of the day...
Lovely shots! Brings back memories from when I was growing up in the 50's and would see the old steam locomotives still in use. So much more interesting to watch than the boring diesels that took their place. And there were so many variations of those old locomotives.
Of course, in those days, my siblings and I spent our time watching trains by counting how many railroad cars were being pulled, and sometimes there were a lot!
