47727 "Edinburgh Castle/Caisteal Dhún Éideann". 04/08/18

August 04, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

Having had numerous photos of her Colas Rail livery, and even one or 2 of her back in RES days, it was pleasing that 47727, now named Edinburgh Castle on one side of the loco, with the Celtic equivalent; Caisteal Dhún Éideann on the other side, and sporting the very smart Caledonian Sleeper livery, was working a private railtour on behalf of GBRF from Crewe to Scarborough and back. As both the outward and return legs was routed via my local line, it was rude not to go out for her.


47727 1Z47 Crewe - Scarborough.

47727 1Z48 Scarborough - Crewe.

 

It was also my first attempt at low light photography using my new Nikon D500 with a prime lens too, and to be fair, I'm satisfied with the results.

Cheers

James
