43148 Crofton 21 November 2006

In lovely crisp early morning autumnal light, 43148 passes Crofton on 21 November 2006 with the 1A84 05:08 Penzance to Paddington First Great Western service. At the time this was the first train of the morning from the west to the capital. The train is just approaching the severe left hand bend which takes the line past Crofton Pumping Station. This explains the rail flange lubricator, which can be seen next to the power car's rear bogie.
