20 Years Ago Today

 


20 years ago!!!!!

Here’s my view on 16 August 2004 grabbed through a long lens of the containerised waste transfer terminal at Calvert in Buckinghamshire, England. At the time they were filling up a huge disused clay pit. 

The loco 66529 is the 4M60 Bristol to Calvert containerised rubbish train and to the right we have 66077 on the recently arrived 6M35 King’s Cross to Calvert, which looks like it’s loaded with spoil. I’m not sure of the details, it was 20 years ago. But I’m pretty sure some of you knowledgeable people here will know far more than me. 

The same view more recently is very different, with this being the course of the new HS2 Hight Speed rail route - pop 51.9169580, -1.0007465 in to your favourite map browser or Google Earth or Maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/hFotFmfUg2XJnfnZ7?g_st=ic

Nikon D70, Soligor 400mm lens.
