47619 Kingham 10 September 1986

47619 approaches Kingham station shortly after sunrise on 10 September 1986 with the 1A10 06:00 Hereford to Paddington service. Although at the time this duty was shared equally between Class 47s and 50s, I remember being disappointed that after getting up so early, it was 'only' a 47! It would be pointless trying to take a picture here at this time of the morning now, as tall trees next to the line block out the sun. Photo taken from a public footpath crossing.
