4 July, 1999.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A funny way to spend American Independence Day: I was on my way from London to Scotland, and I stopped over at York to intercept Britain\u2019s most famous steam locomotive, engine 4472, better known as Flying Scotsman.<\/p>\n

This was my first visit to York, and I was fascinated by the Victorian train shed. Using my Nikon N90S, I exposed a variety of images on Fujichrome.<\/p>\n

The unusual curved York train shed was built between 1871 and 1877. A Virgin Cross Country HST pauses at York on 4 July 1999. This was led by one of the less-common varieties of the Class 43 power units that featured buffers. Exposed on Fujichrome Sensia using a Nikon N90S with 24mm lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looking like the ribs of some ancient beast, I made this study of the cast iron members of York\u2019s Victorian train shed. Fujichrome Sensia using a Nikon N90S with 80-200mm zoom lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Five months later, I returned with my Rolleiflex to document the shed on medium format film. Both those photos and the images of Flying Scotsman may be the topics of future posts.<\/p>\n
