66587 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 27 April 2016

66587 just manages to keep ahead of the advancing cloud, as it approaches Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 27 April 2016 with the 4L31 09:03 Bristol to Felixstowe North freightliner. This view is about to change forever when the hugely delayed electrification scheme eventually takes shape. However, in the last quarter of a century the view has already altered beyond all recognition, with the reinstating of four tracks and the growth of the wood in the background, to say nothing of the change in the traction!
