| 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. |
