Dew

It’s early October 1963 and the evenings are definitely drawing in as the 7pm service to Templecombe via Highbridge has been given the clear to depart from Combwich. 

A low mist has started to hang around, and any exposed surface is starting to be covered in moisture. The flatlands of Somerset are damp, and even in high summer there is dew most mornings. 

Ballast wagons in the distance suggest there is work on the track which will most likely continue over the weekend, this often happens when it’s likely that a railway will soon close. 

And finally, the old trucks in the foreground have been here for years on a disused narrow gauge line that used to carry clay from a nearby clay pit. But the local kids enjoy pushing them around when the station master isn’t looking, so they still see a little action from time to time.
