Upon returning from a day trip last Sunday, Mrs Locoyard and I caught the steam and glow from a firebox of a steam engine heading home in the dark whilst we drove on the A31. I couldn’t resist stopping at Ropley again to see what was making steam! U class 31806 was hauling an empty rake of BR mark 1 carriages back to Ropley. This truely was the last steam train of November 2012 on the Watercress Line. I took a couple of long-exposure shots, before heading home. I hope you like them! 🙂
