LPPC DSL BW 0793 A Hymek Class 35 D7022 runs along the water meadows near Theale station on a cold Saturday afternoon with a mixed freight containing a number of Bulk Grain wagons. By 1974, when this shot was taken, it was rare to see a freight train, other than one carrying stone, on the Berks and Hants line. This is a special, 8Z28 and the Grain wagons, which were not a common sight on BR by that time, add to the train’s rarity. In the summer, this was a great location for watching water-birds and trains at the same time. Keywords: BR, Western, Hymek, D7022, Freight, Theale
