Black Five Locomotive, York Station.

This photo was taken on 29th August 2012, I was waiting for a train at York station (According to my diary, to Harrogate to collect a BMW 520) when I heard the distinctive hissing sound of a steam locomotive pulling into the platform behind me. It was a special excursion train of West Coast Railways "The Scarborough Spa Expess" hauled by a Standard Class 5 (Black five) engine No. 45305. Fortunatly I had my trusty Samsung NV10 compact digital camera in my pocket as usual and was able to take this and a few more pictures before my train arrived.
