An 1898 (rebuild for the Isle of White) Adams 02 0-4-4 Tank comes off Ryde Pier silhouetted by a glorious sun set in the west along with a reflection in the water. It was also sunset for steam on the Isle of White, the London Underground stock would soon arrive and replace them. The last remaining run down steam engines carried on valiantly whilst the third rail was installed on the last line to be in use to Shanklin. It was all completed in the December after this picture was taken. I went there with Dave Wright in the October to see them before they finished a month after this picture was taken.
