A two-car Cravens Class 105 DMU catches some soft evening light as it approaches the level crossing at Chettisham. It is working the 18.05 Ely to Peterborough service, a relatively short service across the Fens via March. The large building to the right in this view is a rail-connected grain storage depot that saw pretty regular traffic. Before this use, it was a Government storage depot. There is a local story that when its use as a grain store came to an end and the whole site was demolished boxes of margarine dating from World War 2 were found in deep storage on site.
