M&GN Ghost Piggs Grave Bridge, Melton Constable

            It's a damp and dreary day during the Christmas and New Year gap, 2023 and I'm standing/crouching inside a prickly bush, holding a back a long, thin tree branch in one hand and an old Canon 5D3 in the other, as I try to get the angles right for a freight train being hauled towards Melton Constable by an Ivatt Class 4MT, numbered 43151 back in the 1950's. I'm actually standing on the part remains of a bridge that carried the B1110 over the tracks, which was mostly demolished decades ago. Other than that, the only real visible remains of the railway is a farmers track on the original trackbed and some slowly falling fence posts hidden by the locomotive. Original Image supplied by the Melton Constable Trust.
