Incidently, these two engines were the only two facing this way around for the gala and made a nice pairing together,

Normally I would add what service it was but by now the trains were running very late and even some cancellations due to the weather conditions.

At this point I had retreated to my car and spent most of the day at this location only getting out when a train came into sight.

32 views29/04/2012 - CR 0-6-0 No.828 pulls back a train from Carrog captured at Fishermans crossing in heavy rain.

I decided to spent the rest of the day at this location, the weather being so back. I had at least a decent view of the line

About 20 minutes spent near the trackside behind a fishing brolley with the rain driving nearly horizontal was all I was perpared to do and thus I retreated to my parked car overlooking the area which was parked on the roadside verge.
