Class 31, 31438

Preserved Brush Type 2 Class 31 A1A-A1A diesel locomotive 31438 at North Weald Station after working the 2E23 13:55 (14:10 RT) service from Ongar on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).

 

31438 was built by Brush Traction at the Falcon Works Loughborough and entered service as British Railways D5557 on October 15th 1959.

 

31438 was withdrawn from mainline service by British Rail in September 1995.

 

Absolutely adore Class 31's. Cut my young trainspotting teeth on these in this British Rail blue livery at Chelmsford station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the late 1970s.
