Pole Position
A grubby 66712 approached Blackbush Drove Level Crossing with 4L28, the 08:10 Doncaster IPort to Felixstowe South containers, on 1 March 2025. In locations like this with no height and too much lineside vegetation, pole photography comes into its own, if you can hold the pole steady, point the camera in the right direction ( more difficult then it sounds ) maintain the data link to the camera and press the button at the right time. Fortunately it all worked on this occasion.
