A dark and misty autumn morning sees 46025 accelerating around Westerleigh Curve just north of Bristol. We were travelling from Bristol to Birmingham and were routed via Worcester. The picture is taken from the back of the train to emphasise the tightness of the curve. Notice the wisp of steam a few coaches forward indicating that 46025's boiler is going well. 46025 was withdrawn in 1981, only to be reinstated and then withdrawn again in 1984, finally, it was broken up at Doncaster.
