DBSchenker 60063, another of the 'super 60's' overhauled, is seen passing through Didcot on a hazy day working the 6B33 Theale - Robeston MURCO fuel tanks.

Unusually being routed via platform 4! With 1 being used by a Bristol service and 3 a Oxford train due to depart at the time the 60 passed. Diffrent to see the freight go around it! Welcome never the less, as the bridge shot when they use platforms 3/4 is a good one indeed!

Also captured by the station was DBS 66198 and RES 08757

On a different note, linked with April, while a 100 years on a super 60 rolls through Didcot it was 100 years ago that Titanic sailed for the last time in daylight, before a series of unfortunate events led to her hitting an iceberg and sinking, taking the lives of 2/3's of those, crew and passengers, down with her. 100 years on, they are remembered.
