59206 John F. Yeoman Rail Pioneer passes Stocks Lane level crossing, in the village of Steventon, on 6 June 2018 with the diverted 7A09 06:30 Merehead Quarry to Acton Mendip Rail 'jumbo' stone train. I wasn't originally going to go out for this, but as it left 93 minutes late, I concluded that the lighting would be much better, as at the booked time the sun would still be very head on. The train did manage to recover some time, but was still over an hour behind time here, and while the vertical sun angle is too high this near the middle of the day, at least it is no longer too head on! |
