Steam and fireworks on the Forth Bridge 23 June

The Prince's Trust advertised some time ago a dining special from Edinburgh and back over the Forth Bridge for Tues 23 June evening, originally hauled by 60009 with the British Pullman set. RTT shows it crossing at 23.30. Does anyone know if it is now 'Tornado'? ECS move off Millerhill in time for departure.

 

Looks like these are the moves associated with the Prince's Trust train, including the
Pullman stock move from/to Stewarts Lane:
Monday 22nd E&C move Stirling to Millerhill:

A quick two from last night, the first of No. 60163 'Tornado' silhouetted against the evening sun on Larbert Viaduct, River Carron :

I have a third photo yet to edit, but feel it's too much of a standard full sun 3/4 shot to add effect to the evening's efforts now!

 

There's only one thing to say to you Jonathon, and that's keep up the good work - you're an excellent photographer young man.

 

Excellent photography Jonathan; post the other photo, it may be a boggo 3/4 shot, but it will be a foil for the two photos above and any photo of mainline steam in Scotland is very welcome - I, for one would love to see it.

Cheers

Alan

 

Agreed. Superb photography there. Goodonyer Jonathon.

 

Must have been standing more or else next to you, superbly taken (and processed).

A shot of Tornado as it heads away from it's water stop at Culross last night.

Lovely stuff, chaps, especially Jonathan! I think your use of "iconic" for The Forth Bridge is deserved (though it's such an over-used word these days). The shape of the bridge is instantly recognisable, and now that all the cladding has gone, the floodlights show it to great advantage.

 

Thank you very much for the comments!

As requested, here's the bog standard shot just West of Breich. Sadly it's a bit of a flat terrain at this section of the Shotts line, although it could probably pass for some location on the East Coast Mainline pre-overhead wires.
