The Class 45 became the main replacement to steam in the 1960's, especially in the Midlands. The were powerful and fast. They did have reliability issues. Even so, the noise these make do send any Diesel Head into a frenzy. This one was working at East Lancashire Railway this Bank Holiday weekend.

Heaton Lodge Junction, Mirfield
Having just passed Class 37 37100 on a tanker train, Class 45 45104The Royal Warwickshire Fusilier takes the Huddersfield line at Heaton Lodge Junction, Mirfield.
Originally D59, this is an engine I saw many times over the years - at York, Toton, Mirfield, Holbeck, Raventhorpe and once at Elland, nr Halifax. Withdrawn April 1988.
This section is now single track for east-bound only. Today (2018) the Class 45 would have gone straight ahead (where the Class 37 is located) and branched left to Huddersfield soon after. This avoided trains having to cross the east-bound Calder Valley mainline

My artistic objective for this photo was to produce a high-contrast monochrome image in which the main smoke blast is as dark as the locomotive's front end. For this I needed to reduce the smoke's brightness before turning up the contrast on the whole image. Additionally, some of the smoke has been left unaltered to keep a pleasing realistic plume.

Class 47 47804 pulls away from Wickford with the 1Z24 0737 Southend Victoria to Poole "Cathedrals Express" Rail Tour.
This train was running 12 minutes late as the driver did not appear to be happy with something around one of the buffers at the front of the locomotive during a scheduled stop at the station.
This train arrived at Poole approximately 24 minutes later than planned at 15:10 rather than the scheduled 14:46.

The uber bright LED lights are so bloody annoying >_<
On 13 October 2022, 33025 drags 76017 past Balham on 5Z33 Alton - East Grinstead, for the Bluebell Railway's gala weekend. A gricer photographs the train while the "normal" on the left is oblivious to it!
For a mere £25 (single) you can relax in comfort for the 15 minutes it takes to get between Heathrow and Paddington! Handy if you want to travel to the Paddington area - but as this station is poorly sited for the rest of London its likely you will have to pay more to continue your journey on some other form of transport.
This is the very smart interior of standard class.
These trains are already going for scrap! Their replacements look more austere. But I doubt if the fare will come down....
