Diesel photography january-march 2013

This period saw a variety of weather conditions with multiple instances of sun and snow,that perfect combination that photographers will travel miles to capture. The heaviest snow fell in late January,prior to a huge ECML diversion via Knottingley and Milford meaning that some very interesting,deep snow pictures were obtained! Also evident is the resurgence of the class 56 with 4 different locos pictured in this period,3 of them main line operational.
