The Railway Carriage

Our run under steam on the NMR was a lovely experience and the train paused at Hillgrove for passengers to stretch their legs. Most took the opportunity to take photos of the steam engine, as well as the troop of monkeys that came out to watch the fun.

The ancient wooden bodied carriages have been in service since 1908, the passengers somewhat less than that.

I love the expressions, the crop and the treatment John, a very mice image which leaves me wondering what each person is thinking!

  Hmm, “why are these seats so hard’ might be the standard gripe, or more likely, “I wish that dam photographer would buzz off!”
