56103 & 56301 Crofton 9 May 2025

56103 & 56301 approach Crofton on 9 May 2025 with the 6Z60 10:32 Willesden DC Rail Sidings to Merehead Quarry stone empties. The Class 56s were deputising for an unavailable Class 60. As can be seen from the background, there was a lot of cloud rapidly building up. As the train could be heard approaching, the sun was behind a cloud, but to the relief of the large gallery of photographers, the sun reappeared just before the train came into view.
