Maitland Steamfest 2011

Whilst sorting and searching through my collection of photos and videos, i decided to finally upload my Steamfest photos. Yes it may be a bit late, close to 6 months ago but I managed to take over 200 shots overall and have chosen some of the best to view.

A shot from the footbridge over Maitland Station

A great shot of Whitehaven loco's with an empty coal train, whilst 8215 brings a loaded train up through Maitland and 3526 waits in the background for a clear road

After travelling to Broadmeadow with 44211 leading and 3265 tailing I managed to grab this shot of the train preparing to start the Great train Race

Meeting Up with 3526 after coming out of Islington Junction and commencing the race

just starting to lose it at the Sandgate Flyover

Regaining the lead just outside of Maitland

After finishing the race 3265 leads the train off on a shuttle train and I photographed it at the end of the platform, whilst being cover in soot and ashes

Enjoy the photos!
