40057 & 40135 race through Pilning station on 28 May 1984 with the T & N Railtours 1Z26 06:30 Preston to Paignton 'Devonian' railtour. 40135's steam heat generator is obviously working well, but then it probably needs to be as seemingly every window in the front of the train is open! Although 40135 survived into preservation, 40057 was not so lucky, being withdrawn less than two months after this picture was taken. It was cut up at Crewe in 1988. |
