59005 “Kenneth J Painter” at Paddington on the Greenford Grinder.

Saturday 18th August 1993 at Paddington Station. There was an open day at Old oak Common Depot and a shuttle service called the Greenford Grinder ran between Paddington Station and the depot. On the town end of this train was Class 60 60047. On the country end was Class 59 59005 ‘Kenneth Parker’ which is seen here at Paddington.

 

At the time this locomotive held the record for hauling the longest and heaviest load ever in Europe. See:-
