The Pathfinder Tours 1Z62 09:45 Wolverhampton to Weymouth Quay 'Dorset Docker' railtour of 9 October 1994 did not go according to plan, not getting to the docks and in fact not even entering Dorset! 20187 Sir Charles Wheatstone & 20075 Sir William Cooke worked the tour from Newport, but 20187 failed in the Bath area. 20075 managed to stagger on to Yeovil, but the decision was taken to terminate the train there due to the late running and difficulty of getting a fresh loco in time. 37375 was borrowed from the Yeovil Open Day to work the train back north and is seen here with 20075 & 20187 waiting to depart from Yeovil Pen Mill. This glint shot was only possible by standing on the back of a lorry trailer in an industrial estate! |
