59204 Crofton 11 February 2012

59204 Vale of Glamorgan runs alongside the frozen Kennet & Avon Canal near Crofton on 11 February 2012 with the UK Railtours 1Z78 07:48 Paddington to Cranmore 'Angel of Bedlam' railtour. There is a need for some canal maintenance here, as the reeds are encroaching rapidly into the channel, narrowing it considerably. The canal was much clearer in 2001 when I photographed 47205 passing this spot.
