166219 Charlbury 21 April 2011

166219 passes a field of flowering oilseed rape as it approaches Charlbury on 21 April 2011 with the 1P61 14:35 Great Malvern to Paddington First Great Western service. The newly laid track has yet to be ballasted, but at least the rails are now in place. Compare this picture with the view just over two months previously, when only the sleepers had been laid.
