A view that is totally impossible now due to rampant tree growth and the construction of the A361 Frome by-pass that runs parallel to the line in the field to the right. 50017 'Royal Oak' passes Blatchbidge Junction's down-home signal leading the 10.23 Paddington to Paignton train composed of a long rake of Mk. I stock. I know that the telegraph pole has split the locomotive in half but as it's a long-vanished feature of the railways I forgive myself for the photographic faux pas!
