Foxfield Railway

More stuff for heritage traction aficionados – a Class 25 in two-tone green livery with half yellow ends at the Foxfield Railway.

The pictures taken during a Jason Cross / East Midlands Railway Photographic Society photo charter at the Foxfield Railway. 

Typical Foxfield Railway weather too – it slashed down all day. 

I have a theory that this part of Staffordshire has its own micro climate in that it always rains there.

Despite that we had a good day and got some good pictures of the Class 25 in and around Dilhorne Colliery – and then later in the day climbing Foxfield Bank. 

The sound effects as the Sulzer got to grips with the bank were spot on!

See my album of the Foxfield Railway.
