Works train approaches Melksham

The countryside Nearmelksham is beautiful, as you'll see from these other pictures of a works train taken during engineering works one weekend.

The railway through Melksham was built by the Great Western Railway - one of the first branches off the main London to Bristol route, turning off at Thingley junction and passing through Westbury and Yeovil on its way to Dorchester and Weymouth. These days, it's a sleepy backwater but it comes to life as a diversionary route when other lines are being relayed ... at the weekend, it's not unusual to see a 10 or 12 coach express making its way along the single track.
