Just a quick post tonight, of some recent train pics on the Worth Valley. Not planned shoots, by any means, more just keeping our metaphorical hands in with some transport photography...
On the weekends before Christmas, the Santa Specieals were running, and whilst in Haworth I snapped a couple of quick pics whilst passing- entirely unplanned, and only had the ipod with me which couldn't cope with the lighting... a bit disappointing, but hey-ho.
Class 37 diesel pulling towards Keighley, and the Standard on the back, being dragged.
Early on in January came an opportunity to use the railway as a public transport option, so we could take The Childs for a birthday treat visit to Haworth. Its nice to be able to use the railway in this way, and a bit more special than slogging up the hills on buses. At least this time we'd have a better camera. The above shot of the milk churns is... just because. No real reason, just liked the composition really.
Being a quiet time of year, the services were in the hands of the W&M railbus.
The railbus took us up to Haworth, where we went to a place called Cobbles and Clay to do some decorating of teacups- of which, a future blog post may shed some light.
Then back home for tea and medals on a steam service, hauled by the Taff Vale tank, no.85, seen here later in the day with a service going towards Oxenhope (happy accident- hadn't intended to photograph it but I was passing when it was).
Probably won't be any more train shots until March, when the Worth Valley Steam Gala is on, though having said that "Tornado" is working some services on the Settle-Carlisle so that may be worth a look...
