By way of comparison, the same train seen in the last photograph is seen again going away from the camera. The previous image was very much into the low winter sunshine creating a 'glint shot' whilst this one, with the light square behind me, gives some very different lighting conditions. An unidentified Class 43 power car propels the 12.30 Bristol to Paddington service on the steady climb towards Box tunnel passing Middlehill footbridge. This location is just adjacent to the A4 road that can be seen to the left along with the tower of Colerne's St John the Baptist church on the skyline.
