59104 Village of Great Elm runs along the down relief line at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 15 August 2016 with the 6C48 14:59 Appleford Sidings to Whatley Quarry stone empties (apart from the first wagon!). After over four decades of visiting this location, this will probably be one of my last regular visits to this location, as although it will still be possible to obtain a record shot of a train on the relief line, the location has effectively been ruined as far as photography is concerned. The fact that the mast nearest to the bridge has not yet been installed has at least allowed this picture to be taken. Incidentally, I often find that I have to correct my photos in Photoshop for slightly leaning horizons, usually using some vertical object as a guide. However, it was no use using any of these masts as a guide, as they are all leaning at different angles! It's a good job that Network Rail are not house builders! |
