A passing
'Royal': King Edward the First
| The spring rains were falling, but a small group of
steam train enthusiasts were gathered on a bridge over the railway line
near Rhoose in South Wales under glowering skies and steady rain in a
brisk south easterly wind. Why? Because we were either steam train
enthusiasts or photographers who didn't mind getting soaked in search of
a decent photo! I fell into the latter group, but will admit to nearly
giving up as the arrival of the King Edward 1st on a day trip to
Carmarthen was late and getting later and I was getting wetter and
wetter. And then, a distant glimpse of steam followed by the unmistakable
noise of a loco working hard as it climbed the incline towards us. |
