A dramatic photograph of a Class 50 at full chat! 50021 'Rodney' makes what should be a relatively easy job of climbing away from Salisbury towards Fisherton tunnel leading the 08.23 Barnstable to Waterloo service. Just beyond the tunnel (a short distance behind me) the train would take the London route at Salisbury Tunnel Junction as it heads towards the capital. The locomotive is just passing the up banner repeater signal for the Salisbury Tunnel Junction home bracket signal that itself is some distance from the junction and signal box which is not absolutely ideal!
