MURPHY'S LAW & CHANGING TIMES
A two and a half hour drive to join the gallery on Oakworth mound to see ex S&DJR 7F 53808, scheduled to haul the early morning freight, in the spring sunshine, seemed less than worthwhile when the 7F was replaced by 'Big Jim' at short notice.
Churlishness like that seems out of place in these coronavirus times when we would be overjoyed to see an S160 on a freight train.
