47823 SS Great Britain with Cheshire Rail Tours Excursion at Appleby.
Saturday 17th April 1993. Today with my father, uncle and cousin I enjoyed an excellent Cheshire Rail Tours excursion which included a run over the Settle & Carlisle Railway. We stopped at Appleby long enough to take some photos there. These included this one of 47823.
47823 was later renumbered 47787 when it was fitted for push-pull working. The locomotive was built for BR by Brush Traction at Falcon Works, Loughborough and entered service in September 1964. It still exists and is owned by West Coast Railway Company but is currently stored out of use at Carnforth.
