Excellent capture of the excitement of a restart. In a moment, the exhaust can change.

Makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Shocking driving though!

Scarey when a big steam loco starts to skid, all that power unleashed. You caught the moment well Cliff. I captured this train later today on its way back south on the Settle and Carlisle Railway.
