A derailed stone train partially demolished Bedwyn station on 6 May 1983. The following day the site was cleared, and this view shows 47107 slowly following the train of recovered ballast and sleepers, as it makes its way towards Reading hauled by 47333. The vacuum braked wagon that caused all the mayhem can just be seen, dumped upside down, in the old bay platform on the left. The River Dun wanders through the field behind the station, with the Kennet & Avon Canal in the background.
