47114 Tupton 23 August 1997

47114 Freightliner Bulk gets under way again, after a five minute signal check at Tupton on 23 August 1997. The train is the 4O31 15:16 Leeds to Southampton freightliner, which I had expected to be hauled by a pair of DRS's recently acquired Class 37/6s. Both the previous and following weeks were 37 hauled (both of which I photographed), but I suppose this unique liveried 47 is not such a bad substitute!
