66595 & 66533 Shrivenham 4 September 2014

Definitely a double bonus at Shrivenham on 4 September 2014! 66594 NYK Spirit of Kyoto & 66533 Hanjin Express / Senator Express pass the recently cleared old platforms with the 4L32 11:00 Bristol to Tilbury freightliner. Although a pair of 66s on a freightliner is not that unusual, a named pair is noteworthy. The other part of the double bonus is the few minutes of full sun, on an otherwise fairly cloudy day. Judging by the dark clouds in the background, the good light was quite localised. The lookout man was protecting a group of track workers who were working near the farm occupation bridge in the background.
