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' at speed on the 16:40 1Z72 Great Yarmouth- London Liverpool Street and the return leg of the Railway Touring Company's 'The Easterling' Railtour entering Chelmsford Railway Station in Essex England on July 16th 2011. Preserved support loco Class 47, 47580 'County of Essex' is being dragged on the rear.
Earlier in the day was the 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.
A bit blurry... oh well! lol.
