A smashing study of Hawkeridge Road Over Bridge (1847) as seen on the 4th July 2019 Copyright Guy Vincent.
Hawkeridge Road overbridge looking north. Built between 1846-8 this bridge remains in almost as-built condition and follows the same pattern as the majority of overbridges built for the Wilts Somerset and Weymouth Railway between Thingley Junction and Frome. The bridge beyond is known as Shallow Wagon Lane overbridge and takes a bridleway path down to some fields. Both parapet walls were rebuilt in 1980-1.

Below is an image I took in January 2013 in the Workshop of the West Shed of the Princess Royal Locomotive Trust ,Swanwick, Derbyshire of 66748 being prepared for use in this country.
Regarding my previous email and 66748. All three of these Dutch Class 66's were brought to the West Shed at Swanwick for preparation to run in the UK.
I have another image of 66749 tucked away at the back just beyond 46233 Duchess of Sutherland. This was taken at the same time as the other one January 2013.
