390128 'City of Preston' passes between Ashton and Roade on the WCML just across the filed from my home. This is an everyday scene and not one that I would normally capture like this, the wrong side of the sun. However, a shutter speed of 1/400th sec. is all that was needed to capture this train, normally I would use 1/1600th sec. This was because all up and down fast services were at walking pace past this location due to re-ballasting taking place the previous night following track repairs. The tamping had not been completed being finished over the night to come.
