Metro passing Glencain Beach

Post by allanroy »

Hi All

Its my first post after finding thi forum and really enjoying all the photos. I thought I would share some of mine. I dont get to see any steam or interesting trains mainly just the metros but only one of the most scenic tracks around.

Thanks John
its a beautiful streach of coastline and quite easy to get some good shots.
