Turning round for the going away shot as the train passes over the crossing. The speck of orange to the left is Swanage Railway photographer Andrew PM Wright.
This shot is taken at the actual foot crossing and the long lens bunches the view. D6515 has its Sulzer 8LDA28 1550hp powerplant working hard on the rising 1 in 78 gradient.
This is a great spot for hearing any loco working hard, I have not done it with steam though. This is 2Z47 1320 from Wareham to Corfe Castle.
