excellent picture! all the infrastructure, track workers and semophores, also good shot that shows the main beam of the WIPAC light on the n/s, usually the camera will over compensate for the bright light and spoil the shot,however you have caught it well.

my Fav picture in this batch, excellent use of compostion, the front cab and the spotters either side of the platforms draw your eyes from left to right, note also how the parralel lines of the cantenery and rails that take the eyes from foreground to the distance is broken by the snaking coal wagons, love this picture, its one you should be proud of.
