I love the atmospherics of this photograph taken of the

former L&NWR railway route to the southeast of Northampton near Delapre Lake. The gently curving track, the trees growing through the trackbed and the slightly backlit lighting all add up to a vaguely eerie scene. One can almost hear the whistle and beat of a distant 2MT 2-6-2 Standard approaching leading the lunchtime Northampton to Wellingborough push-pull service with two crimson coaches in tow!
