56087 Kemble 3 June 2019

56087 passes through Kemble station in a brief burst of sunshine on 3 June 2019 with the 6L39 05:46 Bridgend Ford Sidings to Dagenham vans. As this train was routed the long way round via Gloucester, rather than via the Severn Tunnel, it opened up numerous photographic possibilities, with a much better lighting angle, and no annoying 25kV overhead wires! There is definitely a Colas theme to this picture, as Plasser & Theurer 08-4x4/4S-RT Switch & Crossing Tamper DR73935 can be seen parked in the former bay platform.
