Great Central Railway Kinchley Leicestershire 12th January 2022

by Loose_Grip/Pete
The late afternoon sun highlights the exhaust from Great Western Modified Hall 4-6-0 6990 Witherslack Hall as it rounds Kinchley Lane and under bridge 346 to pass Ivatt 2-6-0 46521.

In reality Rob, 6990's driver, had been asked to give the Photo-Charter participants beyond the bridge a solo "spirited run" while we were asked to remain stationary out of the way in the cutting. A stirring scene but one none of the photographers got to see or record from this angle!
