50015 & 47810 Flax Bourton 21 September 1990

As well as ballast and other departmental trains, the DCWA allocated Class 50s were often used for sundry duties such as this. 50015 Valiant passes Flax Bourton on 21 September 1990, with 47810 in tow, destination unknown, but probably Bristol Temple Meads. The underground aviation fuel depot in the background, part of the Government Pipelines and Storage System, was still rail connected at this time, but the rusty siding proves that no tankers had been this way for a long time!
