This was taken a little further west from previous tour photographs, as I felt that vegetation at the original location made close-ups of the locomotive somewhat difficult, and since this was a locomotive I had never photographed before, I wanted to concentrate on it rather than the train as a whole. I had initially dismissed this location as unworkable due to the fact that electricity pylons cross the line at this point, but at a high zoom they ceased to be an issue. However, the location is some distance from the line and I probably should have used my 300mm lens rather than my 250mm one (and it might have helped if I had been using the 250mm lens correctly as well).
