BR 70000 'Britannia' The Easterling
The 143 ton British Railways Standard Class 7MT 4-6-2 Pacific (better known as the Britannia class) number 70000 'Britannia' working hard at speed on the 09:40 1Z70 Liverpool Street - Norwich- Great Yarmouth and the Railway Touring Company's 'The Easterling' Railtour at Hatfield Peverel Station in Essex England on July 16th 2011. Preserved support loco Class 47, 47580 'County of Essex' is being dragged on the rear.
First time i've ever seen 70000 and possibly the first time she's ran on this section of the GEML since at least September 1962.
