In order to train crews ready for some
forthcoming railtours, class 52 D1015 'Western Champion' was given a day working
a china clay
diagram in Cornwall. I opted to chase it around on what was a very overcast day.
I only saw the sun once all day for a period of only a few
seconds, but it just happened to be when D1015 was passing in front of my lens.
Not full on blingy sun by any stretch of the imagination,
but I was happy to get the shot. D1015 passes St Balise Park with the 6G10 1548 Goonbarrow to Fowey loaded china clay train.
