L416 (51395, 59505 & 51353) passes Hinksey on 8 February 1986 with the 2A87 10:15 Moreton-in-Marsh to Paddington service. The area of waste ground behind the rusty fence is the site of the former Oxford gas works, operated by the Oxford Gas, Light & Coke Co. This was rail connected, and employed its own small saddle tank locomotives. |
