Goring Troughs

With three of the four constituents of British Railways represented, Brighton-built SR N15X class 4.6.0 32327 'Trevethick' races over Goring water troughs (between Oxford and Reading) with LNER stock forming a southbound inter-regional working. With 'British Railways' writ large on the tender, this view probably dates from around 1950. 32327 lasted 42 years in traffic, withdrawn following a collision at Woking in December 1955.
