Challow Station post electrification
Challow Station used to be here until the mid 1960s. This picture is at the same location as Image which shows the railway before electrification work started, and Image where the posts are starting to go up.
The work is now finished and electric trains have been running along here for some time. I do wonder why the metalwork is so massive on this line compared to other routes elsewhere.

Railway electrification work near Challow Station, Oxon
Masts have been erected here in connection with the electrification of the railway mainline from London Paddington to Bristol. The masts will carry the overhead power lines and will allow the use of high speed electric trains. The section from Chippenham to Bath & Bristol seems to be on hold at present but the situation may alter as Governments and policies change over time. There are four rail tracks here.
