165.107 fitted neatly into the arch of the Winston Way overbridge at Purley on Thames, between Tilehurst and Pangbourne, on 3 July 2014. The unit was working 2N46, the 14:57 from Paddington to Oxford.
The arch on the right dates from the building of the original broad gauge line in the 1830s and is higher and wider than its companion, added when the relief lines were built in the early 1890s, after the end of broad gauge operations.
