Railfan's recording of the Fishwick Centenarian train

submitted by Krupo

1 decade 6 years 7 months 2 weeks ago

I'm sifting this up after seeing the extensive, and sort of funny, description. I'm amused by how much energy people put into recording their favourite trains - and the fact that this guy essentially wandered onto the tracks to do it:
"This is 'The Fishwick Centenarian' rail tour with a piece of the action taken at Manchester Victoria on Saturday 28th July 2007. This was a Special Steam & Diesel Hauled Train Excursion operated by John Fishwick and Sons in celebration of the centenary of their company. This was a special all first class Pullman Train running over the spectacular Settle and Carlisle Railway to Carlisle. The locomotive is the CFPS's veteran machine 40145 recently painted in Large Logo and named 'East Lancashire Railway', and here it is adorned with the Fishwick headboard and looking like a movie star as it departs out of platform 3. I was fortunate to get this shot as I do not think that members of the public are allowed to venture this far out of the platform and I was half expecting being pulled up by the station security and given a bit of friendly advice. My saving grace was that I was in no danger and was also wearing a hi-visibility vest. John Wantling, Rochdale"
