This is taken from lock 60, the lock by Crofton pumping station. The railway was built parallel to the canal in 1862. Here is squeezes between the lock and the pumping station on a speed-restricted curve. This train is heading south-west on a service from London Paddington to the West Country and can be seen just starting to take the cant into the curve.
