Thanks, Rebecca Michelle. I looked up and saw the train starting across the bridge. It was a matter of getting the best shot I could from very close to where I was standing at the time. By time I made a second shot the engine was already across.

My pleasure, Steve. That sounds kind of like my "This Little Light of mine" photo. I snapped it from inside my car on my way home from work and it somehow turned out, in my opinion,Β perfect. I didn't even intend for it to turn out that good. It was purely a happy accident that it did. Glad youΒ managed this shotΒ -- hats off to you! Β

My parents had their honeymoon at Letchworth in 1948.Β  So, yes, I've been going there a long time.
Blessings,

It wasn't huge, but it may well have had more inclines to deal with on that line.
