These were taken last Tuesday on a steam train ride from Paignton to Dartmouth in Devon… I think they go quite well with today’s Daily Prompt theme!
Steam trains bring out ‘The Railway Children’ kid in me! (Film from my childhood!)
Same train, different view & depth of field!

That’s an amazing picture, I saw it and immediately thought of ‘The Railway Children’ too.

Thank you! Glad someone else remembers the film… always gave me a lump in my throat and made me cry at the end when she calls out ‘Daddy, my Daddy!’ and runs to him… I remember watching it with my sister when we were little, wonderful memories! 🙂

What a beautiful picture! Like the reflection of the train and view 😉

Thank you! It was great fun… there’s something about steam trains and their whistles that bring out my inner child! 🙂

Great shots; easy to see why you are on the PN Awards list. My grandparents lived in Scotland; we travelled on the steam sleeper train to visit them for summer holidays so you have brought back good memories for me too.
