37230 approaches Cowley Bridge Junction on 7 November 1990 with the 6C55 14:37 Bristol East Depot to Exeter Riverside Yard ballast. I was very lucky that this was running nearly an hour early. As there is only a big enough sunlit gap for the loco and a couple of wagons, it is clear that there would no chance of a picture anywhere near the correct time. The yellow Volvo 240 estate on the right was obviously a very reliable car, with the owner seeing no reason to change it, as it features in pictures taken at this location for over a decade! |
