Today at
Chard Junction

As a wet and windy activity, railway photography leaves much to be desired but I thought you might like to see these shots of the old Chard Junction Creamery Sidings being used a parking place for a visiting tamper.  
Many thanks to you Brian for turning out on such an unpleasant day.
