Twilight Tornado

It's not often we get steam trains come through the village, but when we do I get phone calls and emails and texts... I even had one from CleanSteve (thank you!) who as you can see got his own Blip.

I borrowed the permissive path that crosses the rails near Charfield Mills, and shared the vantage point with a couple of others including someone taking a video - hurrah for "silent" mode on the 5D3.

60163 Tornado is almost new! She was commissioned in 2008 and is owned and operated by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust. Today she was hauling The Red Rose train, presumably for Valentine's Day.
