Rail Album - Engineering Train - Addlestone Junction 24th January 2009

GBRf class 66 locomotive number 66705 pulled train 6G14 through Addlestone Junction on this bitterly cold January day. The junction itself is out of sight in the distance, around the curve. The train was carrying engineering materials from Eastleigh to Barnes.

A closer view of 66705 as it crossed the canal bridge at Coxes Mill, just north of Addlestone Junction. The Union Flag is clearly visible on the side of the loco.
