50019 Upton Scudamore 16 August 1984

A welcome and unexpected sight at Upton Scudamore on 16 August 1984. 50019 Ramillies rolls down the gradient with the 7V85 13:32 Fareham to Westbury stone empties. Although they did work freight trains, the Class 50s were still at this time principally express passenger locos, so despite the very hazy light this still makes a very interesting picture, especially with the rake of vintage vacuum braked open wagons.
