On the HST EMR farewell railtour the other week, I was videoing out of the (seat) window, and only when I played the video back I noticed we passed an upturned wagon, in the middle of nowhere at the trackside in the veg, somewhere between Oakham - Melton Mobray area.

As well as satellite view, its visible in street view from the bridge.

 

ive took a screen shot from the video, but tbh its not a slam dunk to identify it.. the wagon is upside down, wheels gone, how / why Ive no idea.
