A short train composed of just five ballast wagons and a flat heads sedately north past Victoria bridge just south of Roade. 66024 leads 66078 working the 12.02 Willesden West London Junction to Crewe Basford Hall engineering train. This picture illustrates why I like taking pictures at this time of year. If this had been taken in July, yes the light would have been strong but the whole of the underframe and the front of the locomotive and wagons would have been virtually totally black with a loss of all detail. Whereas, it is all lit with the detail clearly illuminated by the low sun angle.
