I awoke this morning with an urge to take a photo of one of the steam trains today and just made it in time to see this one at the station and then on its way.

Hi Louise. Great shot. Where is this?

[Mark Prince]

Lovely shot, love these old trains.

[Andrew]

Perfect timing, great shot! A cloudy day has presented the perfect lighting for this shot too!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely capture.

[Jen Hudson]

Great timing to capture that steam. Nice composition

[Rachel Withey]

Steam looks great and I love the tracks in the photo

[Padlock]

Was this at Matlock or Butterley

@padlock
No, not Butterly or Peak Rail, but Cheddleton, just outside Leek.

Hi Jan, this is in the Staffordshire Moorlands, it's the Churnet Valley Railway

It looks a lovely setting - must admit I have not heard of that line

[Stephanie Swift]

Great capture. Love your pov and the way the steam helps to frame the train, as do the tracks.
