On a chilly morning in Cumberland the 734 waits for the rail fans to get on board.
The 734 enters Brush tunnel....as we wait inside. Where else can a person wait inside a tunnel with a steam train approaching? On the next run we go over to the walkway and the train pulls right through (next image).
