Manchester Victoria station Lancashire 8th June 1968

Manchester Victoria station Lancashire 8th June 1968
Black 5 4-6-0 45420 bursts from under Cheetham Hill Road overbridge at the east end of Manchester Victoria station drawing a parcels train from platform 4 while acting as station pilot.

I only just managed to see and photograph the fag end of British Railways steam in the northwest before it all went in August 1968.

You had a grasp of what would make an atmospheric image at an early age. I would have been down the platform hoping to take a mundane shot of all the loco and probably failed. I had just as many many failures as successes, which doubled my cost per image ;-)
