Hereford, with a train for Birmingham New Street,

Out for the day with the

Three shots of former S&DJR 2-8-0
No. 13809, then recently restored from Barry
condition, at York station.
It ran a trip around the "York Circle"
on a dismal day weatherwise - these were the only
reasonable shots I got that day - 24 Oct 1981
The first shot - love it or
hate it - won me a cup at the local camera club.
About 1 second, the train running through the
station.
Second - at the end of the platform, using other
people's flash!
Third - the special has gone, diesel hauled,
13809 awaits disposal.

No 777 Sir Lamiel, No 600 Gordon and Collett
0-6-0 3205 rest at Bridgnorth shed, April 1983
The rain earlier in the day
improved the foreground somewhat. 777 was just
visiting, and 3205 has long since left the
railway. |
