The return working of the Steam Dreams sponsored Cathedrals Express on August 13th 2008 as viewed from the footbridge on Dorchester South station in rapidly fading light. A couple of steps sharply to the right from the previous picture produced this image of Stanier pacific 6233 <i>Duchess of Sutherland</i> passing through the station in somewhat desultory fashion. A bit of a damp squib really but at least there was no rain in the air.

Following on from her stately 20 mph amble through the station, Stanier pacific6233 <i>Duchess of Sutherland</i> finally puts on the style as she accelerates away towards Moreton and points eastwards.<p>This in't a particularly exciting loco portrait and the shot was something of an afterthought, a snap in other words. However, I've included it for a less obvious reason just for a bit of a chuckle unless the viewer is a member of the Politically Corrected brigade.<br>A friend was recently commenting on his wife's execrable driving and described her, tongue in cheek, as <i>"Lacking in spatial awareness".</i> Now take a good look at this picture with attention being paid to the two women who are pointing digital cameras.
