Lone Star - a photo on Flickriver

Lone Star

A weekend of engineering works saw all normal traffic on the Tyne Valley route stopped. Having the route to itself on Sunday afternoon was 66779 'Evening Star' which was operating the 6G44 14:30 Hexham to Carlisle New Yard.

I wouldn't have normally ventured out for a single service in indifferent conditions but I hadn't photographed the celebrity '66' before so thought I would make the effort. Just before it's arrival the skies darkened and the heavens opened providing a much more atmospheric set of conditions than the overcast but dry weather of only a few minutes earlier.

16th May 2021.

2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.

The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs depicting the work of over 50 accomplished railway photographers with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the past 50 years.

The book, called 50 Years of Phoenix is available now – click on this link to order your copy: www.mortonsbooks.co.uk/product/view/productCode/15554
