Once part of the Yarnton-Cassington section of the fairford branchline, this is now the haul road from Cassington pit to the A40; The old railway bridge is in the distance, and Cassington Halt platform stood to the right of it.

Hi Nathan, These are great pictures mate, can see myself there now. I remember those 96■■ & 74■■ were most popular on that run, so there’s a fair chance I worked that engine a few times along there, but would have been a bit before that picture, as I’d left B.R. by that time. :laughing:


Just to wake this thread up

Hi Toshboy - these should be on here, I’ll find some of the older photos I’ve posted previously on other threads
