With the frost hanging heavily on the trees and grass, 50019 'Ramillies' shatters the winter's peace in deepest Wiltshire. It is passing the site of the old Patney and Chirton station, which shut on 18.06.66, with an unidentified down working for the West Country. Looking at Google Earth reveals that this scene is very similar today including the old station footbridge that the picture is taken from. Also still with us is 50019 which is based on the Mid Norfolk Railway and still seeing regular use.
