Train fan captures super steam image
The photograph could have been taken more than a century ago, a magnificent steam train crossing the equally magnificent Chirk Viaduct.
In fact it was taken at the weekend when The Shropshire Express vintage train excursion ran from Wolverhampton to Crewe.
Alan Roberts, a recently retired coal merchant from Chirk, discovered that the train, number 5043 ‘Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' was going to be travelling through his home town and stopping briefly for a photo opportunity.
