NER Q6 63395 heads away from Goathland Station with an afternoon service to Pickering. The semaphore signals add a lot to the atmosphere on this line.

A chat with the driver before leaving Grosmont was followed by a volcanic ascent of the bank to Goathland behind the NER Q6. On arrival I dashed across the footbridge and ran for the road bridge to record the departure. It then became apparent that the train did not have the road and shortly after the LNWR Super 'D' arrived light engine from Pickering. By then the Q6 had stood for so long that it started blowing off at the safety valves as the preparations made by the fireman for the bank ahead were wasted in a cloud of escaping steam.
