Saturday Steam Sunset
Photo of the Week by StephenHampshire
76017 slowly departs from Alresford station with a Saturday evening dining service (The Watercress Belle) The sun had almost set and the backlight was much weaker than my previous shots with the train sitting in the platform. short shower had made the rail greasy so the driver was taken it easy. He opened the cylinder drain cocks, which filled the immediate area with dense stem, then moved slowly forward so the loco emerged from the cloud into the sun - hence the misty effect behind the loco
