47478 at Arpley SP under a very unforgiving sky which looks like it will swallow up the ex SF silver roofer.
Settle to Carlisle Railway. An unidentified Class 47 approaches Armathwaite in April 1982 with a Glasgow Central - Nottingham service. The River Eden is in the valley below and a Midland Railway wooden, square signal post supports an upper quadrant arm. Armathwaite box was already locked out of use with all semaphores in the "off" position and this signal along with all the others around Armathwaite disappeared not very long after this shot was taken.

5W40 Leicester L.I.P to Anglesey Aluminium with 47815 leading and 47813 on the rear approaching platform 3 Llandudno Junction 21/08/2019
On 9 May 1987 I travelled on the "Anglia Diesel Farewell" railtour, which featured a non-stop run behind D200 from Norwich to Liverpool Street, and, after arrival at the terminus, I took this photo. Liverpool Street station has certainly changed a lot in the last 34 years, and a shot like this would now be impossible for any number of reasons. What a lot of BRUTES* there were at Liverpool Street in those days!
Unfortunately I neglected to record the number of the Class 47 that has evidently arrived. The Class47list website has 47574 on 15.05 ex-Kings Lynn, and 47577 on the 14.30 from Norwich (577 came on at Ipswich). Could it be one of these?
An unrecorded 47 at the rear of its engineers train through Port Sunlight station connected with the coming activation of third rail electrification on the Chester to Birkenhead line. The down platform was a wooden structure in the sixties and there was no central platform. When the four track line was reduced to two a new platform was built on the up side.

47524 "res gestae" is waiting to take the empty stock of the Orient Express up to Victoria. Stewarts Lane, 9 October 1995
Yesterday I saw that this path from Crewe Heritage Centre - Derby was put in through Kidsgrove at 16:46. After that I saw that there was a path from Derby - Orton Mere on the Nene Valley Railway. So there it was a path for 47712 and 47192 to get to the Nene Valley Gala. There was a path from Wembley - Crewe Heritage Centre which was 31452. I saw that it hadn't arrived at Crewe Heritage Centre and that it wouldn't run. I was right then a path for 31452 to get to Crewe the next day was added from Derby - Crewe Heritage Centre. And then all of the other paths for the 47s were added. It was due at 09:51 through Kidsgrove. So I caught the 09:25 train from Congleton - Kidsgrove. The 31 had arrived at Crewe Heritage Centre at 08:58 so everything was running fine. But I stood there for an hour before I saw that anything had happened! So, here is 31452 hauling 47712 and 47192 past Kidsgrove working 0Z47 the 09:15 Crewe Heritage Centre - Derby, before working the 11:46 to Orton Mere. This move was running 52 minutes late when it passed Kidsgrove at 10:43 1/4/16
