Newtondale and the NYMR

I knew there was a train due at any minute, and had heard it whistle near Levisham.
I quickly tried the phantom as I was a bit worried about satellites in the deep sided valley, and the only launch site not under powerlines was a reinforced concrete bridge!

All seemed OK, and I took this picture.
I landed it and was suddenly aware that while concentrating on that, the train was just 100 yards away! - the line is very bendy.
I didn't like to risk taking off almost in front of it - so annoying that I had ample battery to have  just hovered as it went under.
It was Sir Nigel Gresley but it was running backwards so did not look particularly photogenic.
