A great Day Photographing at Reading September 1973.
I was photographing at Reading Station this day and decided to see if I could take a few picture's from by the old signal box just
near the Junction. If I remember right it was now owned by a butcher's who were using it as office's, It would have been nice to take some picture's from inside , but I took my picture's from the step's of the box, it was good for train's coming out of Reading Station but train's coming in were a bit too far over making it hard to get all the train in at the right angle. I was there for about a hour or so and took a few picture's, here is Class 52 1056 Western Sultan passing the box with 12:26 Paddington Penzance service. I then went back to the station. It was a great day out with lot's to see and photograph. of course I was here to photograph as many Western's as possable 17 were seen here that day : 1005/7/12/13/21/29/34/35/36/43/45/48/50/56/66/69/72 and I managed to photograph quite a few of them great day's. Here is a list of the loco's seen that day : Class 31 5682/85/95/96. Class 33 6517/18/39/57/74/85. Class 35 7011/93. Class 37 6881. Class 47 1548/67/86/91/96/98. 1601/02/10/13/27/38/49/56/58/63/67/73/74. 1714/31/44/55. 1834. 1917/37/41/48/55/58/59. and a portent of thing's to come Class 50 401. Reading 15/9/1973.
