LNER Peppercorn A1 Class loco no 60163 "Tornado" pulls The Cathedrals Express steam excursion from Chertsey to Ely on 12th December 2011.
The train was a charter for passengers to attend the Christmas carol service in Ely Cathedral.
We wee the train leaving Chertsey at 7.45 in the morning, then just over an hour later passing Abinger Hammer, at Hackhurst Farm.
"Tornado" is a new-build steam locomotive, completed in 2009 after a 20 year project to recreate the Peppercorn A1 Class, all of which had been scrapped in the 1960's.

Nice shots. It was a good run with 60163 and the climb away from Shalford was very impressive with the load of 13 she had on the drawbar.
