As a lookout there, it certainly kept me on my toes. When I was up there, we also had the MGR trains going to Didcot Power station as well. Challow was interesting, one end you had the sharp curve and the other, a nice long straight and you could see them coming at you from 2 miles away at 125mph.

@physiocrat7143 Жыл бұрын

It would have been even busier if Didcot Power Station had still been working. And imagine if the 9Fs had still been running, and a freight class that had never been conceived, a 2-8-2+2-8-2 Beyer Garrett monster, perhaps?
