Trevingey Crossing & Redruth
Steam Dreams Railtour  
Keith Jenkin & Martin Scane
Picture
Awoken from it's slumber in Slopers siding the Steam Dreams Charter returns heading over Trevingey Crossing. Despite the early morning sunshine the black livery doesn't show too well. CR KJ.
A couple of minutes later -

Here’s the returning Steam Dreams Charter (with 33207 leading 37706) forging “throatily“ through Redruth station at 08.55 this morning during a nice sunny spell between showers. The train was well filled with passengers most of whom appeared to be tucking into hearty breakfasts. Lucky them. I think that the maroon West Coast Railways livery rather suits the two diesels. Cheers Martin Scane Copyright.
