In the lead-up to Christmas there are several steam hauled charter trains bringing visitors to the York Christmas Fair. This one arrived last Saturday lunch time, having journeyed from Ealing Broadway in London.
By the time this shot was taken, passengers had disembarked, and the locomotive had been uncoupled from it's coaches, and the locomotive ('Duchess of Sutherland') was moving towards the railway museum.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
The Duchess of Sutherland, like all steam locomotives authorised to run on the main line, are maintained to a very high standard, and as you can see, very well looked after. It's a pleasure to have the chance to take photos of them.
Thank you Paul - it was quite an impressive departure as it covered the few hundred yards to the railway museum. I think the crew might have been in a hurry for their lunch!

Thank you both. Steam locomotives make a great subject for photos.
