56052 Micheldever 11 December 1994

A panoramic view of Micheldever station taken on 11 December 1994, a day that was so dull that this was on the absolute limit of photography for a moving train! 56052 is just about the enter Micheldever Tunnel with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z30 08:42 Bristol Temple Meads to Dollands Moor 'Southern Serpent' railtour. Micheldever station can be seen in the background, with the oil depot sidings on the left. The wide flat area in the foreground was formerly covered with sidings, serving the WW2 built fuel depot, the tanks of which are built into the hillside, off to the left of the picture.
