Class 86 loco 86206 is seen passing Hillmorton, south of Rugby, at speed on a WCML express heading towards London Euston in April 1988. The Northampton loop line can be seen on the embankment beyond as it diverges away from the main line heading south. 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.
