Steaming into Sutton (3) - East View Extra


As I drove along the East View Road heading towards Sutton Town old station my tired mind was wondering why all of these old chaps with their camera's were still lining the fence alongside the railway... after all the steamer should have passed here minutes ago... then the penny dropped - the train must have been held up or stopped at signals further back at Wylde Green for some reason, so I turned the car at the end of the road and headed back. Just in time as well as the steamer appeared in the near-distance !
Abandoning the car at the roadside I jumped out and held the camera above the tall steel fence, shooting blindly at the approaching train. As luck would have it I got a couple of good results, but now it was time to follow the train into Sutton Town !

Quality.... Was that took in the 60s and youve just done the colours up?
