70013 & Tanfield Railway - 17th & 18th March 2012

Post by steamingyorkshire »

A couple of shots from yesterday featuring 70013 hauling 'The Heart of Midlothian' crossing Chester Le Street Viaduct and leaving Tyne Yard.

Then, given it was such a great forecast today I opted for a day at Tanfield... Only to be dodging the usual clouds all day!

In the shot of 70013 over the viaduct, she looks so much like Green Arrow. If only......

If only... ;)

I was hoping for a bit of smoke to make it stand out a bit more... To make it even more annoying they shut off just before the viaduct. But hey ho, I wanted to try the shot before leaving the North East in the Summer... you win some, you loose even more ;)

It's Chester Le Street Viaduct and the shot is taken from the edge of the A183 on the bank down to the A1 roundabout.
