6024 Steventon 3 March 2012

King Class 4-6-0 6024 King Edward I makes a splendid sight (and sound!) as it passes Steventon on 3 March 2012 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z26 09:33 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington 'Bristolian' railtour. A little early morning rain had cleared and the sun was finally coming out, although as can be seen from the fact that the level crossing at the rear of the train is in shade, a few clouds were still making for an anxious few minutes for the waiting photographers as the train approached from the west.
