Class 43, 43336
British Rail Class 43 High Speed Train (HST) Diesel Power Car 43336 as operated by Cross Country Trains heads northbound at Chesterfield Station on the Midland Main Line in Derbyshire (UK).
Introduced into service from 1976 as Class 253 on the Western Region and 1978 for the Class 254 on the Eastern Region, the HST's were initially marketed as the InterCity 125.
The High Speed Train power cars are the fastest diesel locomotives in regular service in the world and in my opinion are British Rail's finest achievement.
