47727 & 47749 Thrupp 25 June 2009

47727 Rebecca & 47749 Demelza pass Thrupp in a patch of very weak sun on 25 June 2009 with the 6Z48 13:05 Burton upon Trent to Dollands Moor Colas Rail steel empties. A young fox had been wandering across the track and was still walking along the up line as the 47s approached, only deciding to move into the bushes on the right at the very last moment. This location is only a few hundred yards north of where I photographed this train three weeks previously, although being just an occupation bridge between fields is considerably quieter!
