43192 Cholsey 28 April 2015

A field of oilseed rape provides a bright foreground to this picture of some old and new infrastructure at Cholsey on 28 April 2015. The new is the unwelcome (from a photographer's point of view) overhead electrification masts, while the old is the redundant coal fired Didcot Power Station in the background. Already three of its cooling towers have been demolished, and the other three, and the tall chimney will soon also be history, leaving only the two shorter chimneys on the left, which are part of Didcot B, the surviving gas fired plant. 43192 heads east past the scene with the 1P19 07:12 Charlbury to Paddington First Great Western service.
