L401 Shottesbrooke 29 October 1989

L401 (51375, 59485 & 51333) passes Shottesbrooke on 29 October 1989 with the 2F20 07:40 Paddington to Reading Network SouthEast service. This was one of a number of excellent photographic locations between Maidenhead and Reading, all of which have been sadly lost due to the electrification of the route. However, as can be seen here, apart from in the summer, trains had to be on the relief lines in order to guarantee being free of shadows.
