66576 Uffington 27 September 2008

66576 Hamburg Sud Advantage passes Uffington with the diverted 4O54 05:33 Leeds to Southampton freightliner on 27 September 2008. This diversion was due to the Reading to Basingstoke line being closed for engineering works. Note the strange lighting effect, as the sun just starts to break through the early morning fog. The background is still murky but a shaft of sunlight neatly picks out the train. Photo taken from a public footpath crossing.
