Train Leaving Didcot Power Station
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: Unknown
A class 47 diesel locomotive brings a train of bogie tanks out of Didcot Power Station. The power station itself is coal fired, so what the oil was used for I am unaware. Note the item missing from this photo - the A4130 Didcot Northern Perimeter Road had not been constructed at this time. Work on that project with a bridge across the railway at this point began in 1987.
