47773 Tackley 15 June 2019

47773 brings up the rear of the Vintage Trains 1Z65 18:32 Oxford to Solihull 'Oxford 175 Express' railtour at Tackley on 15 June 2019. The smoke betrays the presence of GWR Castle Class 4-6-0 7029 Clun Castle at the head of the train. This picture illustrates some of the behaviour that gives rail enthusiasts a bad name. Some idiot has set up a tripod right next to the line, so close to the track that I'm surprised the earlier CrossCountry Voyager's slip stream didn't knock it over. It can just be seen to the right of the person who is standing perfectly safely on the right side of the fence next to the crossing.
