50019 Flax Bourton 5 April 1990

Glinting in the strong backlighting, 50019 Ramillies passes the oil depot at Flax Bourton on 5 April 1990 with the 7C56 Meldon Quarry to Bristol East ballast. Despite putting in a good deal of effort into chasing the DCWA Class 50s during 1989 and 1990, this is one of only a handful of pictures that I have got of the 'Laira Blue' Ramillies working an infrastructure train. Lack of information, and having to go to work made things a lot more difficult in those days!
