FMCbwnegs277 25080 plus 50xxx Exeter
Exeter again sometime I think between 1974 and 1976.
This time it looks as if the unmaned and unidentified Class 50 on what I presume is a Paddington train has hit trouble and been rescued/assisted by Class 25 25080.
25080 was a Bath Road loco from January 1972 to May 1976 before moving to Laira, the 50's arrived on the western in 1973/4 and there is another shot at Exeter on I think the same day showing a headcode hence the 74-76 estimation of time.
25080 was new as D5230 to Cricklewood in October 1963 and withdrawn in 1985, it seems to have been cut up however till 1993 by MC metals.
Image from a negative in my collection by an unknown photographer.
