D229 - 40029
View allAll Photos Tagged 40029
Vanwege werkzaamheden op emplacement Waalhaven-Zuid werden in het Pinksterweekeinde de Melzo-shuttles van BLS/Captrain weer in de Houtrakpolder behandeld in plaats van de Waalhaven. Zodoende keert de containertrein nog even terug in de havens van het Amsterdamse.
Nadat op zaterdag 8 juni de 475 411 de trein naar Houtrakpolder gereden heeft, vond de terugreis naar Melzo op 10 juni 2019 plaats. Het eerste plan was om de trein bij de Amsterdam Arena te fotograferen. Dat bleek echter al snel kansloos met de wolken. Het volgende plan was om de trein op de Lekbrug te fotograferen; hier gooide een flinke wolkenband echter roet in het eten. Aangezien het iets zuidelijk beter zou moeten zijn werd naar Tricht gereden, waar het dankzij een lichte vertraging in de nieuwe dienstregeling alsnog bijna fout leek te gaan.

42 yeas ago today and looks like it was a pretty grim day.

Melzo-shuttle 40130 naar de Amsterdamse Houtrakpolder reed op 8 april 2019 flink vertraagd richting Amsterdam, ondanks de trein de avond ervoor al om 20:10 uur (!) in Duisburg Wedau was aangekomen Reden hiervoor was dat de trein met een 486'er van BLS richting Nederland was gestuurd, dat gaat natuurlijk niet werken. Nadat de 475 414 Melzo-shuttle 40029 vanuit Rotterdam naar Viersen had gebracht (waar de eerder genoemde 486'er de trein over nam), werd losse loc naar Duisburg gereden om vervolgens Melzo-shuttle 40130 richting Amsterdam te rijden.
Waar de trein normaliter via de bedroevig saaie Betuweroute rijdt, was dit op 8 april niet het geval en kon de goed beladen trein bij Bunnik worden gefotografeerd.

This scene is looking at the LNWR side of Birmingham New Street during the rebuilding, D229 has arrived from the London direction. Backing onto the station is the Queens Hotel and to the right of it the Rotunda has been built and is being fitted out. Just behind the small signal gantry is a class 03 shunter D23**, it is on station pilot duty. I am rather intrigued by that little building next to the 40, like a mini signal box*.
D229 was built by English Electric, it entered service new to Carlisle Upperby 31/08/1959, it was named Saxonia 05/03/1963. The loco was withdrawn as 40029 25/04/1984 and cut at Doncaster in November 1984.

One of the advantages of train travel back in the good old days was the possibility of opening windows which allowed photography of a passing loco hauled passenger train, or, as here, a freight service.
On this occasion, the Manchester bound emu from Bury is overhauling the 40. I had sufficient advanced warning owing to the length of the consist or trucks and got the camera ready along with the change to a telephoto lens. Quite what any other passengers thought I have no idea but then the attention was on 40029 Saxonia - bereft of a nameplate but the existence of it once evident by bolt heads.
Going the other way Saxonia is part concealing what may be an Inter City Trans Pennine dmu which would have made an incredible extra if the front of it was in view!
The whole scene here has changed dramatically. The skyline of Victoria Station has gone and is now Manchester Arena. The dmu, signal box and 40 are off the scene. The Bury emu has gone and the rout taken over by Metrolink trams.
You may get the occasional freight, or even an excursion with a heritage loco.
Best of luck photographing any of that through the glass window
of a tram.

Bij Duivendrecht werkte de zon wel mee en zo kwam de BLS 475 411 met de voorlopig weer 1 na laatste Samskip Melzo shuttle 40029 uit de Houtrakpolder door richting Venlo e.v. op 10 Juni 2019.
In 2019 was een hoogstatief alleen weggelegd voor de welgestelden. Daarom was de verschijning van een behoorlijk hoge bult zand bij Heukelom een heerlijk bruikbaar tijdelijk punt waar dan ook dankbaar gebruik van werd gemaakt. Op de zonnige 25 februari 2019, vandaag 6 jaar geleden en een van de laatste dagen van "Mount Heukelom", werd in de ochtend weer naar dit punt gereden. Onder heerlijk zonnige omstandigheden kon ik hier de 475405 van BLS-Cargo vastleggen met een goed beladen SAMSKIP/Melzo shuttle op weg richting Venlo en verder.
BLS-Cargo rijdt in Nederland zowel in samenwerking met IRP als met Captrain. Meestal is het een Vectron tegenwoordig, maar af en toe laat zich ook een 186 zien. Zo was het op de zonnige morgen van 12 augustus 2019 de helaas smerige 186104 welke trekkracht mocht leveren voor Captrain met de vol beladen Melzo-shuttle 40029 die hier ter hoogte van Boxtel passeert op weg richting Venlo en verder.
Newcastle: 40029 arrived with ECS for 1S14 08:10 to Edinburgh Waverley, 40084 engine for a Merrymaker to Largs 23/05/1981.

40029 rests her many wheels in the east loco dock at King’s Cross in September, 1981. This ‘grand old lady’ (as I always think of the ‘40s) lasted in service until July 1984 and was scrapped at Doncaster by the end of that year, after putting in a quarter of a century of solid service.
Rondom de langste dag kun je voor een beperkte tijd in Hulten aan de noordzijde van het spoor staan om foto's te maken. Ik had het er altijd graag voor over om in deze periode hier wat te proberen, aangezien deze kant van het verder platgetrapte Hulten stukken minder bekend is. Helaas loop ik nu tegen mijn beperkte mobiliteit aan en is deze locatie zonder hulp van anderen voor mij gewoon niet meer mogelijk wat mij wel erg verdrietig maakt. Op 17 juni 2019 kon ik gewoon nog wel naar deze locatie en gelukkig reden er ook een aantal goederentreinen in het korte tijdvenster en was de lucht heerlijk blauw. Een van de passerende treinen was BLS-Cargo met trein 40029 richting Venlo en verder. Getrokken door de 475411 zien we de goed beladen trein hier in het heerlijke zonnetje aan de eenzame fotograaf passeren.

OMG ! I have spent hours messing about with this.
Happy Christmas and prosperous new year to all my Flickr friends.
I hope to get to meet a few more of you next year.
Keep those shots coming........
Photing 40's occasionally became very disheartening towards 'the end' and 40192 taking 40074+40029+40196+40085 to the grave didn't help!

40029 is sporting a replacement set of bogies at the No.2 end, exchanged at Stratford works in December 1982, most probably from 40025 which was resident there at the time.

Na het eindigen van de Samskip containertreinen van/naar de Houtrakpolder (en het verhuizen naar de Waalhaven van deze treinen), kwam er in het weekend van 10 Juni 2019 nog een (eenmalige?) opleving. Door werkzaamheden op de Waalhaven, bezochten weer enkele treinen de Houtrakpolder. Op de vroege morgen staat de BLS 475 411 met een bijna vol beladen Samskip Melzo shuttle 40029 klaar voor vertrek naar Venlo e.v. op 10 Juni 2019.

Resting at the operator's rural depot is this one-time Dublin Bus Volvo B7TL/Alexander ALX400 that has been treated to Mr Lomas' current all-over light green livery treatment.
I do wonder what the next colour choice will be once the supplies of green paint are exhausted?

Class 40 40029 was stood with a Carlisle to Crewe parcels/mail service at the PCD platform at Preston station on June 12th 1978.
The loco had been built at Vulcan Foundry as D229 in August 1959. D229 was named 'Saxonia' commemorating the Cunard liner RMS Saxonia that had been launched in 1954.
D229 was renumbered to 40029 in March 1974 and was in service for over 25 years before being withdrawn with power unit damage in April 1984. The loco was scrapped at Doncaster Works in November 1984.

.
Storming south with what looks like the return 6F83 Blackburn to Warrington Arpley trip which visited Chorley ROF on the way round, including Metal Box at Westhoughton too.
Although the locomotive was originally named SAXONIA and carried cast nameplates, these had been removed in the early 1970's but here one can make out the hand painted version on the loco bodywork applied.
Wednesday 9th February 1983
A notable event occurred I believe in August 1983 when 40029 worked a cross country express through to Bristol Temple Meads. I believe that it may have originated at Manchester but would welcome further information. Here it is seen at Cheltenham Spa.Thanks to David Rostance for confirming that it was the 08.25 Man Picc to BTM. 7/8/1983.

Apologies, but due to having thousands of photographs to clean & label before my son who has no interest in railways bins them, those with poor colours are being converted to "black & white", as I literally haven't got hours to spend on one shot in photoshop & these six are some of the dirtiest that I've had to clean!
