An unidentified class 82 DVT leads the 10.02 York to King's Cross semi-fast past Carlton level crossing between Retford and Newark. Carlton crossing signal box can just be seen emerging behind the roof of the train. I was lucky with this image not to have a vehicle blocking the view in the foreground. A foreign registered and obviously lost HGV was attempting a pretty impressive turn round just off to the right having inadvertently come off the A1 at the nearby junction. This manoeuvre, whilst very impressive, did block the traffic from waiting right in front of the gates ruining the shot!
