Not a rare shot of a Southern Electro-Diesel with an ETH fitted 'Peak' but withdrawn steam locomotives numbers 73126 and 45101: July 4th, 1968 - Standard Class 5 73126 (Patricroft) and Stanier Black 5 45101 (Newton Heath) await their fate. Both were withdrawn in April 1968. Just above the Standard Class 5 is a Class 40 (either D392 or D393). There are 3 x Class 37s visible, one above the Black 5, one at left edge of picture and also one, more difficult to make out, to the right of the water tower, immediately under the large chimney. All three are centre-headcode engines transferred from the Western Region, and must be among the following seen that day - D6865, D6867, D6869, D6918, D6922, D6927, D6929, D6942, D6952 and D6953. |
