Mike Birtles had his drone in position near the River Ribble to capture the smoke billowing from the engine as it approached Preston Railway Station.

The drone used is a Matrice200 fitted with a Zenmuse Z30 camera.

It shows the engine on its way into the station, passing over the railway bridges on the River Ribble.
