20097 leads 20071 heading a class 9 unfitted freight train of empty coal wagons at Lenton South Junction, 3rd September 1980.
Locomotive History
20097 dates from 1961 and was originally D8097. It was a Scottish based locomotive for a long time (as denoted by the cab recess for single line token exchange equipment) until it moved south to Toton in the mid 1970’s. I first saw this locomotive on Eastfield MPD on the 23rd April 1972. It lasted in service until September 1989 and it was broken up by MC Metals Glasgow in October 1991. 20071 dates from 1961 and was originally D8071. It lasted in service until March 1992 and it was broken up by MC Metals Glasgow in March 1995.
