Night Time
Read MoreA rather shiny 37422 standa at Chester under a full moon having arrived with an empty stock working. The loco was very "ex works" at the time and I was please to get not only this photo but also a couple of others in a week or so on the North Wales coast, including pictures of the loco on the Wrexham line where one or two Birmingham - Holyhead services were diverted due to the Chester - Crewe line being closed because of a bad bridge strike. 1996.
Crewe Triple?
Another case of all not being quite what it seems! During a couple of hours at Crewe whilst changing trains in the middle of the night I came across a rather interesting triple header with a 33/40/25 combination. It later turned out that the 33 was just stabled on the front of the train locos and did not actually work the vans train (destination unknown).
