Tornado through Settle

[Stephen L]

Tornado on its first run - tender first - through Settle station. The first run of a steam-hauled mainline scheduled service in the UK for 50 years, I believe.

I intend to get her running north through Settle either this evening or over the next two days.

Nice capture Stephen, stopped off to see it from a bridge just before settle.

Good clean shot. You've done well to capture it at the station like that at dusk. I don't think those on the bridge would have managed it.

No, and they'd have got a face-full of oily steam as well! Focussing was a challenge due to the very bright running lights; obviously at that point she was still travelling as the engine, front coach, and rear diesel loco all overhung the platform.
