31189 Long Marston 6 September 1984

31189 stands in Long Marston army depot on 6 September 1984 with a train of Royal Engineers bridging equipment. I did take a conventional picture of the train leaving, but this 200mm lens view gives a much better view of the depot, with its various MoD stock, including several rakes of wooden bodied open wagons. A pair of Thomas Hill MoD shunters can be seen in the distance. Note the complete lack of hi-vis clothing on the rail workers walking alongside the train.
