The Waterloo Sunset - The End of Southern Steam

Sunday 9th July 2017 marks the 50th anniversary exactly to the day, when BR Southern Region finished steam operation.

 

To mark the anniversary, SR Merchant Navy Class 4-6-2 no 35028 Clan Line heads west with the 1Z67 1042hrs London Waterloo-Yeovil Junction special.

 

Seen here passing Potbridge, nr Basingstoke, the engine was running about 10mins late, but storms past the gallery of photographers.

 

35028 Clan Line was freshly out of overhaul and only in its 1st week of operation.

 

Running with 'The Waterloo Sunset' headboard and the Southern route disc markers.
