60071 Wantage Road 2 February 2012

Still carrying the flag for the obsolete EWS livery, amid an ever increasing sea of dayglo DBS repaints, 60071 Ribblehead Viaduct approaches the site of Wantage Road station on 2 February 2012 with the 6B33 13:35 Theale to Robeston empty Murco oil tanks. The cloud of steam in the background is emanating from Didcot Power Station, which is obviously using up some of its few remaining generating hours prior to closure in 2015.
