66575 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 4 July 2011

Running a staggering 210 minutes late, former Freightliner liveried 66575 runs along the down relief line at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth with the 6V78 03:10 Dollands Moor to Margam Colas steel empties on 4 July 2011. This delay of over three hours only got worse, because once the train arrived at Swindon the driver was obviously out of hours, as it didn't leave there until 19:55! This train is normally virtually impossible to photograph, as the sun would be right behind it at the booked time. Here it is merely backlit. Note that the loco still carries the green livery of its former operator (minus any branding), but with the addition of Colas logos below the cab side windows.
