John Oram's photos with the keyword: 08567

The railway scene at Eastleigh is in almost constant flux and the scenes presented to the photographer often change. Stuck on the outside the photographer in 2021 must accommodate the recently erected fence (recently in Eastleigh history). This little cameo features Arlington Fleet Services' Class 08 shunter 08567, still in EWS colours and Colas Class 37 37099. 200_4_P1010691CE

One never really knows what a visit to Eastleigh will bring and it is by no means always possible to take even a half decent photograph. The intrusion of the unwelcome 2020 fence makes this picture no more than half decent. There is an enormous amount of stock there and in great variety but it can look very jumbled with the one thing one really wanted to see, in this case Class 484, well hidden away or even absent. Nevertheless, much though I dislike the Network Rail yellow on anything, I really do like Class 313. That Class 08 shunter 08567, still in EWS colour is next to it, pretty much sums up the Eastleigh of today. 200_4_P1010525C
