60055 Culham 24 May 2022

60055 Thomas Barnardo approaches Culham on 24 May 2022 with the 6Z52 11:18 Oxford Banbury Road to Machen Quarry stone empties. This loco had replaced blue liveried 60028, which had worked this train for several weeks, but failed whilst working the inbound loaded train on 17 May. Note the steel electfrication piling tube being slowly enveloped by the undergrowth in the foreground. The dark clouds in the background indicates that rain wasn't very far away, and it had started before I got back to the car, which was nearly half a mile away.
