BR Standard Class 7 70000 Britannia at Platform 1, Victoria station, London
Hot, steaming and still running on coal, the 4-6-2 steam locomotive pulling the excursion train in to Platform 1 is Britannia, back running on the mainline rails after replacement of a connecting rod which failed during one of last year’s rides. Quite a contrast to the sleek electric commuter trains usually at this London terminus.
Photography note: one of those subjects where my camera’s exposure suggestion was wrong by more than two stops. Those old-time railway photographers had some quite specific skills to get the shots they did.
