43144 Yarnton Junction (site of) 2 April 2009

43144 has full power applied as it passes Yanton with the 1W47 15:51 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill First Great Western service on 2 April 2009. It has just diverged onto the Cotswold Line at Wolvercote Junction, but will soon already be slowing for the first stop at Hanborough. The Scots Pine trees in the background mark the site of the former Yarnton Junction station, where the Fairford Branch diverged. The GWR's favourite tree of choice is now all that marks the site of a number of closed stations.
