47513 Combe (Grintleyhill Bridge) 31 January 1987

Viewed from a lofty vantage point that is unfortunately now obscured by trees, 47513 Severn approaches Grintleyhill Bridge at Come with the 1A25 08:00 Hereford to Paddington service on 31 January 1987. A bright but cold winter morning with the remains of some snow under the hedges and a light mist obscuring the background slightly. This location is not a total loss now, as pictures can still be taken from the bridge, but even if this 1987 viewpoint could be recreated, the rampant growth of lineside vegetation would hide the train today. Lower Westfield Farm is prominent in the centre of the picture, while on the extreme left Whitehill Bridge can just be seen.
