Added to the Vintage Photos Theme Park for the June theme of 'The 1950s', this photo which has a bit of damage around the front of the side tank and valve gear, shows a train that could not have run 15 years later, as its tracks had been removed as part of the infamous Dr. Beeching railway 'rationalisation' in the late 1960s. However in the next few years it should be possible to retrace its route, as the link between the two famous university cities of Oxford and Cambridge is being restored.
