Climbing past Winkhill

The strong north-easterly wind whips the exhaust down and away from 34028 Eddystone as it climbs away from Winkhill trowards Caldon Low on the Sunday of the 1960s steam and diesel weekend on the Caldon Low branch. In the left background, partly obscured by steam, is the Winkhill station house. Above the trees can be seen the board for the Blackbrook Crossings. This gives some idea of the sinuous nature of the line around Winkhill.
