59202 Compton Beauchamp 5 June 2010

59202 Vale of White Horse in the Vale of White Horse! Passing Compton Beauchamp in the vale that it is named after, 59202 Vale of White Horse heads east with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z59 Bristol Temple Meads to Newtown 'Powys Chugger' railtour on 5 June 2010. Apart from being named at Didcot Power Station on 28 September 1996, 59202 never came anywhere near the area while it was owned by National Power, and only once it became an EWS loco did it regularly travel through the vale. Indeed here it is only just over two miles away from the 3,000 year old Uffington White Horse hill figure, which gives its name to the area.
