    Harold, for once, all the locos in your picture are the same colour :D

    I assume you are standing on a bridge (unless you are very tall) :D Is it a footbridge or a road bridge? Over here, the bridge sides seem to be very high these days so it is difficult to take photographs over the wall/fence.

    Yes, kind of boring to have all of the locos in the same boring black and white paint :( , however, the lead unit IS painted in a newer scheme with the white numberboard area :D

    I am fairly tall, but I am also on a bridge when taking this picture. The sides on this bridge, a road bridge with a pedestrian sidewalk are only about 3-4' high, so it is perfect for taking photographs.

    This is the famous "Boylan Junction" that I have posted numerous photographs from. (although many of them are taking facing the other side of the bridge and the diamonds).
