My Life After the Official ‘End of Steam’
Part Nine

The Privatised Main Line 2004 – 2009 - Two

All these photos were taken on a Canon Eos Digital SLR apart from the final photograph at Hellifield which was taken on my Samsung S21 phone. I have cropped and adjusted the digital images to get the best I can out of them using Adobe Lightroom.
