Compton Beauchamp in the days when there was just a single tree on the left hand cutting side. I used to think it was a nuisance, as you couldn't see the line disappearing into the distance. If only this location was as vegetation (and overhead wire) free as this now! 47523 heads westwards on 3 May 1995 with the 1C53 16:02 Paddington to Plymouth Royal Mail vans.
