Old Trains

Tonight we drove out to Pleasant Point - its been a big day and night for this rural town.  
After 5 years the Ab699 returned to the rails, I've put it in as an extra.  It has had a refit, all done by volunteers and was gleaming tonight. So many proud locals, families and steam trains enthusiasts, many having travelled to this unveiling.
For my blip I've gone for the more atmospheric photo of the smaller train, which was helping the Ab699 along the rails. Very grainy, but adds to the feel.  
Got very cold so we didn't linger to long, just long enough to see it do the run and return to the station.
I'm tagging this SarumStroller in memory of Tim and his night escapades.
