The view from Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, is well known, and is still popular with photographers even after the 25kV wires went up. What is less well known, is that before the wires, and the tree growth on the north side of the line, there was an excellent viewpoint for westbound trains on late summer evenings. 43173 heads west on 28 June 1994 with the 1C68 18:45 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service. This power car was written off in the Southall crash on 19 September 1997. It collided with an ARC stone train, which was quite correctly crossing in front of it.
