43177 Moreton-in-Marsh 3 August 1988

43177 arrives at Moreton-in-Marsh on 3 August 1988 with the 1B46 17:15 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh service. Usually if course this would be the train for Hereford, but a landslip a few miles further north, near the village of Dorn had closed the line, so this train would soon be heading back from whence it came. Despite the evening shadows, it was still just about possible to take a picture of a northbound train arriving a Moreton in the 1980s, with the down refuge siding and the semaphore signals in view. Unfortunately the conifers on the right have grown considerably since this picture was taken!
