Inter-City liveried Class 87 87019 'Sir Winston Churchill' runs south along the elevated Northampton loop line at Hillmorton, just south of Rugby, with a rake of empty flat wagons in tow. The WCML is at a lower level nearer to camera. The view is taken from the area of land that until a few years earlier contained Hillmorton sidings, and was fully accessible, via the track passing the former railway cottages, and was ungated and unfenced from the main line.
