37372 Compton Beauchamp 30 June 1991

Superb crisp evening light at Compton Beauchamp on 30 June 1991, as 37372 heads westwards with a lengthy rake of ballast empties. The wide area of ballast on the left clearly shows where the former up relief line once ran. This was a casualty of the 1960s track rationalisation and resignalling of the Didcot to Swindon line.
