One of most amazing drone footage
of the Flying Scotsman steaming across a scenic viaduct is an impressive sight and
not just for trains-potters. The incredibly beautiful journey was captured by
hobby drone operator Neil Fedorowycz, who watched the live action footage
through his iPad as he controlled the drone with his wife, Marnie. The viaduct
was built in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1923; the Flying Scotsman in 1934
pulled the first train to break the 100mph barrier.
Thus, a cloudy, grey day was
brightened up by the iconic locomotive chugging along the tracks of the
Harringworth viaduct in Northamptonshire, which is longest masonry viaduct in
Britain. The huge numbers of amazed onlookers gathered in the field to see the
magnificent train sped down the railway on its journey from London to Yorkshire.
Moreover, after steaming through Wellingborough station, the train stopped at
Kettering to pick up passengers and fill up with water before thundering on
over the viaduct.
The 47 year old Neil Fedorowycz
said; I cycle through this countryside very often and this viaduct is remarkable
piece of engineering art work. It is really breathtaking when Flying Scotsman
steaming across the top of it, really a great opportunity to miss. It is
extremely difficult to manage drone battery which lasts only 20 minutes when
the drone was up in the air and the train was running about 20 minutes late.
In fact, it is incredibly eye-catching moment,
when the train fly across just I was changing the battery and I might miss the
opportunity. However, I was so luckily to drone up in the air at eleventh hour
and capture the entire scenes. I was stunned to saw the locomotive crossing the
viaduct due to extremely breathtaking view. Moreover, a huge crowd also
gathered there to watch the moment, and everyone love to see this great fun
activity. It was two flawless pieces of engineering coming together and getting
such a super shot is icing on the cake.
