59.201 began the descent from Savernake with 7A17, the 10:24 Merehead to Acton stone train, seen here approaching the site of Wolfhall Junction on 26 April 2021.
The line of bushes and trees at the far side of the field mark the route of the M&SWJR line, opened in 1898 to avoid having to use the GWR between Marlborough and Wolfhall, and closed in 1960.
