Its only taken 38 years, but I've finally got a picture of a Class 59 on the Cotswold Line! 59003 Yeoman Highlander passes Stonesfield on 14 July 2024 with the 6C97 08:38 Charlbury to Hinksey reclaimed rails. 56094 is hidden by the bushes, at the rear of the train. Trains returning from engineering possessions are notorious for running very early, so I arrived here in plenty of time. On this occasion it 'only' ran 43 minutes early, so I had a two hour wait. Well worth the effort, especially in such perfect early morning light. The recently planted trees in the foreground indicates that this view will soon disappear.
