59206 Broughton Gifford 6 November 2010

59206 John F. Yeoman Rail Pioneer passes Broughton Gifford on 6 November 2010 with the 6W36 Didcot to Swindon (via the Berks & Hants line) engineers train. Originally this train was booked to run from Westbury to Swindon. Despite the awful weather, the chance to photograph a Class 59 on a departmental train was not to be missed. It was fortunate that the DBS liveried loco was allocated, as its dayglo livery certainly helps compensate for the miserable weather. The train is conveying materials for the engineering possession between Swindon and Didcot.
