37417 Three Spires Junction 15 November 2008

As 37417 Richard Trevithick came off the Prologis Park branch line at Three Spires Junction at not much more than walking speed with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z37 06:00 Reading to Round Oak 'Industrious Trader' railtour on 15 November 2008, I decided to take this close up view of the locomotive as it passed under the bridge to show the appalling state of the bodywork. Note the large areas of missing paint and several holes appearing in the rusting bodywork.
