47770 Eckington 26 June 1995

47770 Reserved crosses the River Avon at Eckington on 26 June 1995 with the 1E43 17:42 Bristol Temple Meads to Newcastle Low Fell Royal Mail service. This used to be the ideal spot to spend a warm summer evening when there was an endless procession of interesting trains passing. You just had to make sure you pressed the shutter at exactly the right moment! Although obviously a popular spot with anglers, I have only occasionally seen any number at this spot, and have never managed the 'fisherman casting just as the train goes by' type of picture!
