AH130320BW negs039f Class 47 1108 on 1E11
Another of the batch of B&W negs I bought last week, this time it yielding this image of one of my favourite Class 47s. 1108 became 47525 which was known as Deltic 23 by the York bashers of the late 70's as it had a good turn of foot.
I am hoping someone can fill be in on the location, the 03 made me think of Berwick but not sure the track formation goes with that. The thing to stop too high wagons (sorry no ideal what it is called) entering the sidings may also give a clue, and the Headcode of 1E11 should help. The loco was new in January 67 to York and moved around 6 or 7 times in its first 6 years, but never further south than Holbeck, it was eventually withdrawn in October 2007 after 40 years of service.
No date but one of the Class 50 photos in the same batch has been identified as June 1969.
