Burtonian 150
50026 at Burton Moor Street Bridge
Normally Class 50s would only venture through Burton to/from planned visits to Doncaster Works for overhaul or repair. However, unusually on this particular day, 50026 worked a Bristol - York relief throughout much to the delight of those on 'trainspotters' bridge'. Here it’s seen on the return working, the 1V49 14:25 York - Plymouth relief, where I managed to grab a quick picture. 30 minutes later, the loco failed at Washwood Heath and had to be rescued by 25195. 3/4/85
