43138 Denchworth 31 October 1994

43138 (with missing headlight lens) passes Denchworth on 31 October 1994 with the 1C38 13:15 Paddington to Weston-super-Mare InterCity service. This is one of my very few railway pictures that includes a rainbow. Obviously with rainbows being so transient, the chances of one appearing when a train is due are slim, and then they are not always ideally positioned. When this picture was taken I thought the view had been ruined by the newly installed signal gantry. That is nothing compared with the mass of electfrication steelwork that now completely blocks this view!
