Boat train in its element

The return working of the Southampton-Edinburgh boat train crosses flooded water meadows near Twyford. The rain had only just stopped.... five minutes later the sun was shining. English weather, eh? Both 47s had failed the previous day when heading south, hence the addition of two 37s. Triple heading remains rare in the UK!

 

Techy stuff: Locos in sequence:

37409 Lord Hinton

37601 Class 37-'Fifty'

47841

47818 (on the rear)
