3863 1965 Tuffley

3863 1965 Tuffley

The PW train consists of pre-assembled track pannels and a crane. Peter Kerslake says 'Doing the best I can from my past at Gloucester I think this is a view looking northwards from the Gloucester Ring Road bridge with the Stroud Road bridge in the background and 3863, an Oxley engine in earlier years, heading westwards from the Gloucester avoiding line, and working hard with a fair load in tow. If this load is destined for the Swindon area then this working will remain on the Western Region line through Stroud and Sapperton Bank, but if it is intended for Bristol then 3863 will cross on to Midland tracks at Standish Junction, a mile or so ahead. The main line tracks in the centre are those of the Midland Region from Bristol and running from Tuffley Junction down past Double Bridges into Gloucester Eastgate station whilst the locomotive just visible on the far left is, I believe, on the line from Hempsted Power Station'
