Trainspotting

Worting Junction: 1966
 
This was my final visit to Battledown Flyover in Steam Days. A year later, steam was gone.

The Class 33 Cromptons were well in evidence on the Bournemouth line, and the Warship Diesel Hydraulics worked the principal trains on the Exeter line. Steam was almost exclusively Bulleid Pacifics and Standard Five 4-6-0's.
