L409 Foxhall Junction 12 March 1991

A very unusual working at Foxhall Junction, Didcot, on 12 March 1991. L409 (51386, 59496 & 51344) joins the Great Western Mainline, after traversing the normally freight only curve from Didcot North Junction, with what is presumably a special ECS working. These Class 117 units were an everyday sight just the other side of the bridge in the background, as they worked most of the Paddington to Oxford local trains through Didcot station. However, they very rarely passed this spot, which is why I have included this picture, despite the awful dull foggy conditions.
