Love the photo and also the TPWS equipment between the tracks. For those who are unfamiliar with UK railway practices Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) is now mandatory on all UK trains passed for the main line and that includes steam locos. The system is designed to stop trains which are exceeding the line limit or which pass a signal at danger or at too fast a speed for the aspect shown. It has resulted in much higher costs for locomotive owners.
