Talk about a wet day...it's been a wet month! This afternoon in pouring rain, 44871 graced us briefly with her presence as she passed the EMD at Northampton, bound for Southall. The Black Five is off to the smoke to do a couple of jobs before returning north in a few weeks time. As a hardy bunch of us waited on the grass, 44871 appeared out of the gloom right on time. The signal was still on for her route, meaning that the engine had shut-off and was slowing to a stand at the board...
As soon as the signal cleared, 44871 summoned her strength and took her support coach away southward. I'll probably see her again when she comes back!
Please note that the above images were taken from land outside of the NR boundary fence.
