A Golden Nod
Seeing as class 142 Pacers (aka 'Nodding Donkeys' due to their riding characteristics) are now securing more interest from the snapping community in lieu of their imminent demise, here's a shot of one taken in 2014 that never got uploaded - and in arguably appropriate conditions given recent weather forecasts.
With temperatures below freezing and a hard frost on the ground, unit 142084 passes the once busy eastern approaches of Healey Mills Yard with what's thought to be a Northern service from Huddersfield to Wakefield Kirkgate.
Taken, like countless photographs before, from the Storrs Hill Road over-bridge.
