In the golden light of a late autumn afternoon, 60091 passes Uffington with the 6B33 13:33 Theale to Robeston Murco oil empties on 23 November 2010. Note the mark on the bodyside where the An Teallach nameplate was formerly fixed. If you think the dark clouds in the background form an impressive backdrop, that's nothing compared to what they looked like 15 minutes later. Even this late in the season the oak trees have still got virtually all their leaves. At this location there is a small copse next to the line, which would make a splendid background. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem any way to get in a position to include more than the one on the end! |
