Laxey Mine Steam Railway ‘Ant’

Posted on July 2, 2012July 2, 2012 by Peter Killey

The Laxey Mine Steam Railway Engine ‘Ant’ is seen here returning from the another trip up to the entrance of the Laxey Mines.

The gentleman who was steering the train is seen here adorned in his traditional Victorian wear to mark Laxey Victorian week.

This image was captured on my Fuji X10 camera resized and cropped and converted into Sepia in Adobe Photoshop CS5
