Express over Uppermill Viaduct

Express over Uppermill Viaduct
A day or so back we got up to a view point that we have never got to before. I knew it had to be around where we were, for I had seen many great railway photo taken from up here. Beneath this viaduct runs the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and I have often peered upwards wondering how to get to this highpoint.

After waiting quite some time for a train in an even better position than this, I was just giving up after walking back up the hill through wet vegetation when my wife shouted "here comes a train". Indeed it was the Express from Newcastle to Liverpool Lime St after running through the Standedge Railway tunnel just a mile or so further up. This is a Class 802 bi-mode Diesel-Electric - No. 802209 on the 9M20 0947 service.

Yep, well worth the patience that was just growing thin at this point.

Yes, there must be a way of seeing when the next steam hauled train is running through here. Not too many at the moment I think. Glad you like it.

Cheers. Herb

Yes, our ancestors were very good at creating these viaducts and the Italians for the Japanese company Hitachi seem very good at making these modern trains. :) Thanks for enjoying them.

Cheers, Herb

It seems your perseverance paid off with this lovely shot Herb............I like the curve of the rail tracks and the colour of the train's livery! Great light too. Nicely done!
