57 year old British Rail Class 57 Co-Co diesel locomotive 57305 heads the Rail Operations Group 09:19 (12:14 74L) Clacton CSD- Gascoigne Wood Sidings (Selby, North Yorkshire) one off ECS movement at Stratford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in East London (UK).
In tow are 33 year old redundant former Greater Anglia Class 321 4 car EMU's 321431 and 445 heading off for storage and most likely scrapping.
Note the 'dellner coupling' contraption covered up in the yellow pane recess on the cab of the locomotive. This coupling was used during 57305's duties as a Direct Rail Services Thunderbird recovery locomotive in order to couple to and/or rescue other dellner equipped broken down trains.
57305 first entered service as Brush type 4 D1758 on May 23rd 1964.
57305 was numbered 47164 in the 1970s, based at Stratford and was a regular on the GEML.
In 1977 it was one of two Stratford Class 47 loco's that received a Union Flag on the side to commemorate the Queen's silver jubilee. I can vividly remember seeing 47164 along with 47163 at Chelmsford station on London- Norwich Inter City services around this time just as I became interested in railways.

The Dirty Knees Parade.
Second in from the right could have been me. mop style haircut, tie not straight, jumper not neat, trousers down to my knees, wellingtons up to my jnees ( a cunning plan the made it impossible for the teacher to use the cane on my legs).
From the days when elastic in socks lasted only one month, then it was garters made out of elastic for the next three months if you needed to keep your socks up to your knees (a demand in some schools), you got a new pair of socks the following term.
When your wore wellingtons in school, socks often remained at your ankles for most of the day.
