66621 passes Uffington on 13 October 2009 with the 4V60 10:55 Calvert to Bristol Avon binliner. The signal gantry that it is approaching presumably dates from the introduction of colour lights in the mid 1960s. This would obviously explain its terrible condition. What might at first sight appear to be brown paint is in fact rust, with only a few flecks of the original silver paint remaining! |
