250 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.
