47054 passes South Moreton (Didcot East) on 1 December 1983 with the 4S59 10:18 Southampton Maritime to Coatbridge freightliner. There was far less freightliner traffic in the 1980s compared to today, and even this short train is only partly loaded. The white car is parked on the site of Moreton Sidings, which were constructed during the Second World War.
