| A really frosty gloomy dismal start to the event when I arrived very early at Burrs country park for the freight train photo shoot. The light did improve during the day and the sun appeared in the early afternoon. Some great performances from the engines were to be seen storming up Burrs with the engine crews doing a great job.
