40086 races through Chinley on 19 June 1984 with the Cleethorpes to Manchester Red Bank empty newspaper vans. Unfortunately this corresponded with one of the few cloudy periods during an otherwise perfect summer's day. However, as I have so few pictures of Class 40s in regular service, it is worth including. Note the panel just behind the loco's number flapping about in the wind. I hope it didn't hit anything en-route! |
