In Memoriam: Michael Atkinson
Goschwitz, East Germany, 1986
Class 41 2-8-2 No. 41 1182-9 making a spirited departure Goschwitz with a substantial freight. After a wait of what seemed like hours we were glad to see this finally depart and assumed that it would be passing this spot. Wrong. It went straight on behind the building on the right and a rapid sprint through woodland managed to secure a very hasty grab shot. Not the one planned so grateful to have got this one.
Several of this class survived into preservation but sadly not this one.
