66504 Yarnton 4 May 2011

A light load for 66504 on 4 May 2011 as it rounds the curve at Yarnton with the 4O09 10:17 Trafford Park to Southampton freightliner. This view would obviously not have been possible in steam (or early diesel) days. Note the stump of a telegraph pole amid the brambles and wild hops, directly below the loco's bufferbeam.
