37677 Cambois 30 March 1998

Superb late afternoon lighting at Cambois on 30 March 1998, as 37677 growls past Freemans signal box with the 6N58 17:20 North Blyth to Lynemouth alumina train. It had been a completely dull day up until this point and I was surprised to see the sun start to come out just as the train was coming into view. As it was so late in the day it was lucky that nothing was casting a shadow across the picture, as I had no chance to get to an alternative location! This amazing lighting didn't last long, and as can be seen from the dark background was only just sufficient to cover the entire train. The dark brooding clouds over the North Sea in the distance are an indication as to what the rest of the day was like!
