BR Class 40 40122, Ipswich, 9th. May 1987.
Celebrity locomotive 40122 came home to the GE Section for the "Anglian Diesel Farewell" railtour (full electric services between London and Norwich commenced two days later). As D200, this locomotive had made a special publicity run to mark the start of regular diesel operation between London and Norwich in 1958. The assortment of BR traction on the stabling point also makes for nostalgic viewing.
