As I watched the trains and locomotives coming in and out of Grosmont Station this was one of my best opportunities. The carriages to the right had been left without an engine to pull them as one went off to the service area. This locomotive came along to pull the carriages and I thought that this wider view was needed to capture both the smoke and hopefully some sort of reflection on the carriages on the right. One thing that I think really helps is that there is no sky, due to the hills in the background and the compression in perspective caused by using a long zoom lens.
