It wasn't, it was slowing for a signal stop. This is a huge crop. I spotted this tunnel mouth on a previous trip to the Borders Railway and planned a location where I could get a clear view, quite a long way off. I had hoped for it bursting out in clouds of steam and smoke but as it was slowing power was off and this section of track is on the downgrade.Nice shot - makes it look as if it is travelling very fast
Good day out. The drive from Durham to the Scottish Borders on he A68 is sensational, right up Northumberland and over the border at Carterbar. I can't think of a more scenic drive outside Snowdonia or the North West Highlands.
