Black(bone) Cab

DB Cargo Class 90, 90039 waits in the Wembley Loco Holding Sidings prior to taking itself and Class 92, 92015 to Crewe ETD for attention later that day as 0Z23.

 

Photographed from 1Z25 07:26 Euston to Marchwood MoD whilst it reversed in one of the Willesden Up & Down Goods lines near to the start of Day 2 of the GBRf 2021 charity railtour.

 

This is part of my selection of photos from the GBRf Charity Railtours 2021 "This Time it's Personal" four-day railtour, which I was on throughout. The tour was raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, a disease that one of the three main organisers has been impacted by and hence the reason for the tour and its strapline.

 

This was also quite personal for me as my Dad has battled prostate cancer and his father (my grandfather) died of the disease before I was born.

 

Despite the well-documented challenges, this was an excellent tour with a significant sum raised for the charity. It was also announced at the end that it would be the last multi-day GBRf Charity Railtours escapade in this format for understandable personal reasons impacting the key organisers.
