This is great - congratualtions on this shot, Peter!

Hi Erhard

Your visit is most welcome, thank you.

A cold morning, with very still air, and a glimmer of sunlight appearing, then this heavy freight locomotive pounds up this gradient... A nice sight!

Glad you have enjoyed it.

Best Wishes, and a good weekend

Peter

What a beauty Peter.

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your very quick visit to this picture. Of course you know it could not have been from today, it was 24 March 2011. It had been on Pano since that time.. Maybe you had seen it there...
Anyway, I am so happy that you like it, and gave it a big star!! Thank you again!

Love Peter

Hello Peter what a lovely shot indeed and sadly do not recall this on Pano so i am indeed very pleased i have caught up with it now and placed it in my fav's folderwith a YS

Best wishes ... Steve

Thank you Steve,

Pleased that you have enjoyed the spectacle. It was their spring gala, and at the time I had a lot more work involvement with that part of the country, making weekend visits quite easy. Of course times have changed, but I realised that some of the nice pictures from those days should be brought out again!

Best Wishes
Peter

Good work, well done ;-))

Thank you June

Beautiful morning light and a terrific shot of the steam train Peter. I feel I should know where this was taken. Have a lovely evening

Thank you Carol,

The mapping is pretty accurate, but we railway photographers always try to pick our pots for the best light, and a locomotive working hard up a hill somewhere, plus a cold morning too!!! I am pleased that you enjoyed it

Best wishes

Hi Peter!

the train preceded by its glorious puff of steam seems to come out, jump in the foreground from an unknown and mysterious path ...
Maybe I work too much fantasy .. :-) but this is the beautiful and engaging impression I receive from your striking image.
Best wishes .

Hi Bea

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Steam and cold mornings do go well together, I think!
Then add that to some interesting countryside...!

I am really pleased that you have enjoyed it.

Best Wishes

Hi Peter ... a nice shot; I really like the bridge railings and the curve of the tracks ... of course the white exhaust is important ... I'll bet it was a thrill when this hard-working engine powered past you. (Hooray for Pano re-issues.)
Y'all have a great day, Wally

Hi Wally

Your visit in much appreciated. Thank you!

It is always nice to see a steam locomotive hard at work, even if this is a bit of a featherweight train, there is still a steep gradient to climb!

Glad you like it.

Best Wishes
Peter

Really fantastic, Peter. You could easily frame this one.
