Looking absolutely immaculate in the morning sunshine, 47593 Galloway Princess passes Thingley Junction on 21 September 2019 with the Statesman Rail 1Z02 04:47 Ely to Bristol Temple Meads 'Great Western Statesman' railtour. Out of sight on the rear is 47614. I could have photographed this nearer home, but this was definitely worth the extra mileage to be clear of the 25kV wires (the 400kV ones in the background aren't such a problem!), and to just about get the sun on the front of the loco. |
