DB red from Woking at Penleigh Lake with spectators 2013.
DB red from Woking at Penleigh Lake with spectators 2013.

On 4th September 2013 a smart 59203 with 7v12 15:38 Woking Down Yard-Merehead Quarry restarting from a check at W305 for the run into Westbury Down Yard for runround. and passing Penleigh Lake and an estimated 70-80 Canadian Geese on dry ground - far greater number than ever seen there. Was convinced the sound of the train would spook them but remained there until shortly after last of 18 JNAs had passed when barking from dogs fairly near sent them into the lake. That lake is a flooded former ironstone pit serving the long demolished Works next to Westbury station and a narrow guage railway connected the two. Several different shots on both Salisbury and Frome routes possible from here then but all gone with a change of ownership and a farmstead now occupying the field. This new owner does not like anyone even within 50 yards of the field and not friendly. A hotspot for field mushrooms prior to change of owner. With my thanks to Glen Batten with additional info.
