British Rail diesel loco 47088 London Waterloo East (#8726)
Taken from the roof of the Southern Region General Offices at Waterloo, 47088 "Samson" is seen leaving London Charing Cross with an empty van train as a Caterham/Tattenham Corner train leaves Waterloo East towards Charing Cross. This was 8 October 1983 and the unusual working of the van train was probably necessitated by a blockage at London Bridge. Another loco (perhaps a class 73) would have taken the train into Charing Cross.
