43170 crosses over the River Avon at Eckington on 9 April 1983 with the 1E30 07:05 Plymouth to Leeds InterCity service. I've often thought that sitting in a boat in the middle of the river would be the ideal photographic vantage point here, especially when the water is calm, like on this perfect spring morning. At least there is a partial refection of the power car in this more conventional viewpoint from the river bank.
