66952, 09.30 Southampton MCT-Garston (4M58, 37E), site of Roade station 
 This was not quite the photograph that I had intended to take of the 4M58 Southampton to Garston Freightliner. As the sun was in I had positioned myself to the left-hand side of the bridge. As it appeared around the corner a three-set Class 350 came along the up slow line running at caution behind the previous 4L48. Realising that I would be bowled, I dashed to this end of the bridge and attempted this grab shot of the train with 66952 leading. As can be seen, the unit just would have cleared the front if I had stayed at the other end! As it transpires, I think I prefer this view with its dramatic and menacing skyscape that I would not have got from the left.
