In dismal light, but thankfully just after the rain had finally stopped for the day, D1015 Western Champion & 40145 East Lancashire Railway pass Compton Beauchamp on 16 May 2010 with the Class 40 Preservation Society's 1Z52 08:50 Penzance to Crewe 'East Lancs Champion' railtour. The Western is masquerading as D1009 Western Invader on this side, and D1012 Western Firebrand on the other. I was surprised that no other photographers were at this location, as if the sun had decided to appear, it would be one of the better spots on the Great Western Mainline. |
