Bittern leaving Salisbury

Image: © Graham Horn Taken: 6 Dec 2008

A steam excursion hauled by A4 ex LNER Pacific 60019 "Bittern", which usually works on the Mid Hants Railway. The excursion, from Haywards Heath to Bath, was running nearly an hour late. It had stopped at Hedge End and Salisbury stations for water, so we took the opportunity to drive to this location where we hoped to get a shot with the cathedral in the background. Unfortunately she was making such a fuss of accelerating away to make up some lost time that the cathedral is lost in there somewhere.
