Travelling through Redhill on a cold December day, a class 47 is spotted through the window shunting some vans. Just an everyday scene that no one else notices, but I took a quick snap. The negative was not the best, but with todays digital aids a fair result has been produced, I never did make a print. 47413 Redhill, December 1984.
47626 is about to leave the down sidings at Ashford with the empty stock for the Dover to Manchester TPO. 30 March 1994.
47811 slowly rusting away at Locomotive Services Ltd, Crewe.
Built in February 1964 as D1719, the loco was renumbered as 47128 on 31/12/73, as 47656 on 22/9/86 and finally to 47811 on 4/8/89.
Still carrying the First Great Western livery from its days on sleeper service and other duties, the loco was used for shunting at Crewe Basford Hall for a couple of years after being patched up at Barrow Hill depot, but was stored in the far corner of Basford Hall yard for 3 or 4 years until its move to LSL's premises. This was apparently for preservation, but the loco looks more like a source of spares.
I have always felt sorry for the poor soul who had to read out that statement to the press.
Those of us who possess a knowledge of railway understand that powdery snow is lifted by speeding trains and it would get into places where it caused damage, wet snow, did not. Sadly the press, always looking for a victim, pounced upon that wording and exposed it to those people who only grasp headlines,
This class 47 has the right kind of snow for Peter to photograph, clouds of it swirl around the train as it passes Halesowen Junction heading for Birmingham.
