Railfreight Distribution Visitor

Visiting LSL Class 57 no. 57003 'Inter City Railway Society' is seen negotiating the station throat at Kidderminster, working the 17:40 to Highley.

 

It's so nice to see one of these back in RfD, Sulzer or not.

 

Taken Given Highley only has a single platform, trains in one direction had to de-train and shunt into the loop to allow the opposing train to pass, before re-boarding and continuing their journeys. Possibly a consequence of the closure north of Hampton Loade?

 

Taken during Day 3 of the Severn Valley Railway's 2025 Spring Diesel Gala.

 

Taken using a Mamiya M645 C 80mm lens with adapter at f8.0.
