FMcslides1737 D296 no location
No location for this one taken from a slide processed in January 1974. That said I suspect D296 hadn't got a boiler by this time and the weather points more towards summer.
In view is still green Class 40 296 working a passenger service. The electrification poles are up but no wires, for some reason I think the location may be around Lancaster.
The loco was new from the Vulcan Foundry to Crewe North in October 1960 and became 40096 under tops. Withdrawl was in December 1983 and cutting up at Doncaster Works the following June.
