60098, 1Z50

Night photorgraphy at Newton Abbot was always problematic as most of the canopy light was sodium vapour lamps which only emitted a narrow spectrum of light. I did my best with this one, 60098 Charles Francis Brush on the 1Z50 Bristol - Plymouth, 28th December 2001. The 60 had been provide as a standby engine at Newton Abbot and had been attached to the up 1Z40 from Plymouth earlier in the day hauled by 47851. Surprisingly the 60 then returned with this service. The 'customers' looked quite cheery; presumably no train heating and a nice sedate roll along behind a 60mph locomotive. (t360-14f)
