Can You Walk A Bit Quicker, Mate? - 66198 at Marple Viaduct

            DB Cargo's 66198 clatters across Marple Wharf Junction with its rake of box wagons full of stone from Dowlow quarry, destined for the aggregates processing facility at Ashburys (6H52). Marple aquaduct can be seen basking in the sunshine in the foreground.

As is always the risk when photographing the aquaduct in nice weather, numerous people tried their best to inadvertently get in the way of my shot in the run up to the 66's arrival as they ambled along the towpath enjoying the views and the sunshine. I could hear the train rumbling towards the viaduct as a man and his pram were only three quarters of the way across, but luckily he saw me lifting my camera in readiness and obligingly scurried out of the frame with seconds to spare!
