A nice image Richard, like the way the smoke from the engine lines up with the carriages

I can see Harry Potter [I wear varifocals, can see Mars]. No excuses needed, it's the composition that makes this image in my opinion and leaving in the farm, sound judgement, because it puts everything into perspective. The timing of the train was perfect; Dumbledore was definitely watching over you on this one Richard.
The colours are nice and strong contrasted against the grey viaduct; it's only a wrong lens when there is no image at the end of it and this is a great image. Some one once said, it is the photographer that makes the image not the equipment and you have made the best of this.

Still, you were there at the right time to catch the train crossing and managed to get the shot: as well as featuring in Harry Potter, it's an interesting to mention that the Glenfinnan Viaduct is the first of it's kind to be built in the UK in concrete.

Fantastic capture, even with the wrong lens( as you say)
The perfectly balanced composition. The positioning of the farm within the frame adding a wonderful sense of scale an proportion whilst at the same time your use of your 17-40mm lens has ensured that you captured the length of the viaduct and the crossing train without having to reduce to using a photomerge.

You've been and captured the image I was looking for Richard - We were there yesterday
but didn't know the best spot to capture the viaduct with a train!
You've done very well indeed catching the whole train with the smoke.
Bet you were blown away with the scenery. Did you go to Malaig?

I know your vantage point Richard, but I wasn't lucky enough to be there when a "Black 5" was centre stage.
Far from the wrong lens, you have captured the essential" train in the landscape" image that railway photographers always seek to capture with Glenfinnan.
Great capture

Cracking railway image. There is nothing wrong with the viewpoint, the only thing I may have done is cropped the farm out of the bottom of the image.
Nice one.
