47606 Chilson 17 April 1984

47606 Odin passes Chilson on 17 April 1984 with the 1A51 05:55 Hereford to Paddington service. Without the luxury of a modern ten frames per second camera, it was critical to press the shutter at just the right moment with a fast moving subject like this, and I clearly didn't get it right here! At least the front of the loco (and its shadow) is still in the frame, which wasn't always the case when I got it wrong!
