Paddington to the West Country railway, Swindon
The route of the line is as conceived by I K Brunel at the inception of the Great Western Railway in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign. Originally it was broad gauge but was converted to standard gauge before the end of the 19th century. Somewhere along this section the famous GWR Chief Mechanical Engineer, G J Churchward, met his death on 19th December 1933, 76 years before this photograph was taken.

HST125 on the Paddington to the West Country railway, Swindon
'HST' stands for 'High Speed Train', '125' is the maximum operating speed in mph (miles per hour) of the train. The train is operated by First Great Western or 'FGW'. Trains like this are the workhorse of train operating companies running services over non-electrified lines like this one. It is an 'up' train meaning it is running towards or 'up' to London. It could have travelled from Bristol or South Wales. The line without the train can be seen in this image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1114251
