Viewed from the footbridge at the site of Ashbury Crossing, 56087 approaches Shrivenham on 14 June 2019 with the 6Z30 15:35 Dagenham Dock to Bridgend Ford Sidings empty vans. With just a couple of weeks to go for this train, and a sunny evening, after day of cloud and rain, this just had to be photographed. At this location all the masts are on the south side of the line, allowing a reasonably clear view, but it does require a very long lens, in order to get past a gantry crossing the track in the foreground, and by the time this train appeared, encroaching shadows. |
