First steam of 2023; Galatea hauls the Bath and Gloucester Steam Express. 

My first location was the classic view down Sonning Cutting with the engine slowing down for Reading already at this point. Then it was a train to Bedwyn to see her up Savernake at bridge 99 on the Kennet and Avon canal. As it turned out, the 47 on the back did most of the work with the engine just there to make steam and look good. However in the last shot at Twyford we see a bit more work from Galatea as she accelerates from the crossovers at Twyford West. I hope you enjoy this short video from 3 different locations.
