BR Standard Class 4 2-6-0 No. 76009 (really 76079) just south of Bishops Lydeard station on the West Somerset Railway during the Spring Steam Gala. 76009 will lead SR Bulleid ‘Battle of Britain’ 4-6-2 No 34067 <i>Tangmere</i> to double-head the last leg of the charter service from London Paddington to Minehead.

This photograph was taken from the pedestrian level crossing at the northern end of the station with the aid of a 12× zoom, giving the equivalent of a 432mm lens.
