In search of the M&SWJ: water-tower at Faberstown
These two towers stand close to the route of the old Midland & South-Western Junction Railway, east of Ludgershall. The one with the open steel frame is a recent structure, but the brick-built one is plainly a relic of the steam age. It stands at a certain distance from the surviving railway line - but I'd read that as evidence that the land between line and road was once a railway yard.
The M&SWJR existed as an independent entity from 1884 until 1923, when it was absorbed into the Great Western. Its main line (if 'main line' you could call it) ran cross-country from Swindon south to Andover and north-west to reach Cheltenham. Traffic seems to have been pretty sparse except during the two world wars. At the time of writing, the line still connects a military depot at Ludgershall with the national rail network at Andover.

Faberstown, railway bridge
Simple brick and steel bridge carrying the Ludgershall to Andover branch line over Shoddesden Lane. The line which serves the MoD depot seems rarely used, but there are plans to open a light railway to Andover along it. http://www.andoveradvertiser.co.uk/news/5005680.Council_considers_light_rail_proposals/
