Steaming up the incline. by seanoneill

Steaming up the incline.

A shot I have wanted to take for a while now, a steam train climbing an incline.

I managed to get this between Sheringham and Weybourne on the North Norfolk railway, just before the railway crossed the A149.

Nice viewed large.

I've rather spammed up 365 so far today as I have played catch up, so I will call it a day there and catch up some more tomorrow, when I hope to catch up with what I have missed in your projects.

Oh i have always wanted to capture a Train with the Smoke billowing out of it! How Wonderful!! I might just get that chance over the Thanksgiving weekend...My husband is trying to make up for me having missed the fall up in P.A. and has suggested a train ride through the Appalacian Mountains! i am so excited! I always think of that childrens book when i see a pic of a train chugging up a hill and try to live by the saying " I think I CAN"!! FAV!
