Mid Sussex Late Summer Statesman - a photo on Flickriver

            D1935 'Roger Hosking MA 1925-2013' emits a trace of exhaust as it powers over the Ouse Valley Viaduct with 1Z84, the 1653 Eastbourne to Chesterfield 'Statesman' excursion.

Also know as Balcombe Viaduct and opened in 1841, this is the highlight of the route built by the London and Brighton Railway.

This ornate, brick-built structure comprises of over 11 million bricks, mostly imported from the Netherlands and shipped up the river Ouse from Newhaven and Lewes to the construction site.   The stone balustrades and pavillions were imported from Caen in Northern France.

After a month of poor weather, this was a rare occasion to enjoy the August sunshine, capture a locomotive-hauled train on the famous viaduct and meet up with a few likeminded photographers.

Taken with the aid of a pole.
