Day-to-night: Arley Station

Arley station, built in 1862, lies on the Severn Valley Railway, 8 miles south of Bridgnorth, and its original look and features has meant that it has starred in many films and television productions. It closed as a passenger line in the 1960’s and the buildings became overgrown, but in the 1970’s restoration works started and it is now maintained by a group of volunteers.

Here, the LMS IVATT CLASS 4, 43106, built in 1951, pulls passenger carriages into the station ‘tender-first’, in other words; the locomotive is running in reverse.

This image was taken in the daytime, and then converted into a twilight scene using the power of post-processing, utilising both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
