Trowbridge
Martin Scane

Martin writes ' Here is very poor quality (so no worries if it fails the acceptability test !) but it is interesting as it shows a pretty lengthy goods heading towards Trowbridge from Bradford on Avon. The interesting bit is that it is on the freight loop. Taken from our favourite spotting location of Black Bridge at Ladydown on the outskirts of Trowbridge. The locomotive is 3864. My date (which is a little unreliable) is July 1964 which would fit as 3864 was a Neath engine at the time and this is likely a freight from South Wales headed for Westbury and Salisbury'. Many thanks indeed - copyright Martin Scane
