a. Steam at Mile Post 31
11th March 2007

Steam trains around Mile Post 31 on the SW main line in the early 60's. MP31 was the highest point between Waterloo and Basingstoke and marked the end of a long gradual climb for west-bound trains. Some of the photos are taken at Hook Heath, several miles closer to Woking.

March 09. I photoshopped the colours.
