Looking At Me, Looking At You!

DRS 37 405 leads the short set through Reedham bound for the swing bridge and Lowestoft. A couple of photographers shoot the journey from the door windows filming what will soon be history. After Oct 20th Reedham and it's junction is being remodelled and relaid. No more semaphores and a different track layout.

 

I read an online article while in East Anglia that said Reedham is one of the best railway spots in the country. With it's working semaphores and signal box, two branch lines to the coast, an interesting track layout, loco hauled services and it's famous swing bridge and lastly ancient lineside telegraph poles with many of the insulators still on them! And then you have no less than five bridges to shoot from. Some of these things will be gone by 2019 and Reedham will be changed for ever.
