A busy scene in rural Hampshire at Battledown Flyover on 26th August 2020. An unidentified DB Cargo Class 59 is about to cross the flyover hauling the return empty waggons of the the 10:34 Southampton Eastern Docks to Halewood (Jaguar Cars) intermodal. In front of that train on the down line a DB Cargo Class 66/0 No. 66087 has disappeared from view to the left of the scene heading in the other direction its train, the the 09:43 Morris Cowley to Southampton Eastern Docks loaded intermodal is still passing and sprawled right across the scene. Meanwhile two cyclists travelling along the adjacent path seem oblivious to the action beside them.
