21st August 2018 This powerful image shows Ex-LNER A4 Class 4-6-2 No.60009 passing between two former bridge supports on the approach to Cogload Junction on Tuesday 21st August 2018. The image serves as another image to illustrate the rampart lineside vegetation growth in the Taunton area. At Cogload Farm this image shows just how un-kept the lineside currently is with trees and bushes shaping themselves tight to the passing trains. It's no wonder Network Rail have such issues with Steam Charter services with their lineside is left in this condition. In a few weeks time Network Rail will be telling the public there are far to many leaves on the line. We will let the readers of Taunton Trains judge why. The LNER locomotive was hauling 'The Cathedrals Express' charter, the 1Z82 08:45 London Victoria - Minehead. On arrival at Bishops Lydeard the A4 was removed for turning and servicing whilst the train continued onto Minehead behind resident WSR loco BR 7F No.53808. (Photo: Jamie Waters)
