47725 Culloden Viaduct 6 August 2000

A slightly different view of Culloden Viaduct in some dramatic and very transient lighting. 47725 The Railway Mission accelerates off the iconic structure with the 1M16 20:20 Inverness to Euston ScotRail sleeper on 6 August 2000. Although the cloud was covering virtually all of the sky, I noticed a small clear area near where I thought the sun was, so after setting up another camera on a tripod on the other side of the line for Bernadette to take the more conventional view, I decided to use the small occupation underbridge in the lower right corner of this picture to cross the line, just in case the sun came out. Amazingly it did!
