Indeed, but this is the Penistone line, where loco hauled trains are very rare.
Picky point, but it's actually Paddock Viaduct.
Not wishing to be over pedantic, but it doesn't actually pass over Longroyd Bridge. One end is Paddock Foot, the other is Thornton Lodge. Longroyd Bridge is where the A62 passes over the canal and river. It's a very fine distinction though so I really am being very picky.
Theres a small village cricket ground in Cherwell Valley where I umpired last year.
During the summer there is a train that passes along the back of the ground and play has to be stopped every time the train passes as it goes right behind the bowlers arm.
I had great fun with my camera every time the train passed even though it did mean holding the play up a bit longer than was strictly necessary!
To expand on that, any uniform colour is better than a non-uniform or, worse still, changing background. It's to do with how the brain detects motion. You can't consciously 'see' a ball heading towards you at 100mph but your brain is able to process the motion and work out the trajectory as long as it doesn't have to simultaneously process a changing background at the same time.
