GWR steam loco 2857 on Victoria Bridge in Worcestershire, England.

            The bright final rays of the sun backlight GWR steam locomotive 2857 on the Severn Valley Railway.  The engine - which is almost 100 years old -  is crossing Victoria Bridge,  which was once the largest spanned bridge in the world.  The train is the 4:35 service from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster on Sunday March 16th, 2014.  The river level dropped in the previous few days after exceptionally high waters following weeks of heavy rain.
