66597 Heyford 29 October 2008

Heyford station is a very awkward location for photography with a new footbridge that dominates the site and requires the use of a moderate wideangle lens to include the entire structure when standing on the nearby road bridge. On 29 October 2008, 66597 rushes with the 4O54 06:13 Leeds to Southampton freightliner. I would normally crop out the shadow of the bridge (and myself!) in the foreground, but have left it in to emphasise the very small gap in which you can take pictures at this location. The Oxford Canal can just be seen on the right of the picture.
