Description This is the Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Scottish Highlands. It is one of the best train journeys in the world and if you are ever here I highly recommend this journey.  Here it is pulling up away from Glenfinnan and passing the now disused Church of the Braes. The train is being pulled on this occasion by  ‘Black 5’ No 45407, ‘The Lancashire Fusilier’. 
You will also recognise this train from the Harry Potter films as it is featured crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Awesome work! I can't figure out where you are all the time to get these...on the mountain tops?

This is taken from a small road that runs up a hill beside the track. Very Licky to have it there. It means I don't have to climb for once

empellina In reply to LawrenceCornellPhoto [2016-04-13 16:03:40 +0000 UTC]

I was wondering about that...you must keep in great shape to climb so much. It's the only way to get your awesome shots. I could never...

I'm not in such great shape at the moment after my pneumonia
a couple of months of doing nothing but work is not so good for me
im just beginning to get back in the game now
im sure you could get to many places I get to. It's not a race so you can take your time

Pneumonia! Whoa...I'm glad you are feeling better.   Umm, not really...there are many reasons.

LawrenceCornellPhoto In reply to empellina [2016-04-13 20:16:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Somehow I got pneumonia at the beginning of January. No idea how. It was very unpleasant though. Took about ten or twelve weeks to get rid of it. Much better now though
you could walk on a beach though right? That's always nice

Yes, I've done that a lot. That sounds horrible...I've never had that. Awful.

A great capture, were you waiting for the train to appear? Have you had a journey on it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LawrenceCornellPhoto In reply to SucieDesigns [2016-03-14 19:51:03 +0000 UTC]

Yes I was waiting for the train to appear. I had a rough idea of the time it would be coming through. It only comes through in this direction twice a day from May to October. 

I have been been on this train from Fort William to Mallaig and back. It is the best train journey in the world through the most stunning scenery. 
You must do that one day

SucieDesigns In reply to LawrenceCornellPhoto [2016-03-14 22:33:42 +0000 UTC]

It'd be s bit awful if you needed to change a lens or something as it appeared.
Sounds like a plan.
