43197 Compton Beauchamp 14 March 2013

With the early morning frost still clinging to the grass in the shadows, 43197 speeds past Compton Beauchamp on 14 March 2013 with the 1L24 06:28 Swansea to Paddington First Great Western service. After over three decades of taking photographs at this excellent and very secluded location, it looks like 2013 will be the final year, as impending electrification will ruin this viewpoint forever. Normally the only sound between trains here is the incessant cawing of the rooks in the nearby trees!
