Viewed from the end of Micheldever station's island platform, 47296 heads south on 5 August 1995 with the 4O26 12:10 Lawley Street to Southampton freightliner. The loco is obviously in severe need of a repaint, but it would be another year before it acquired the then new Freightliner grey livery. Before that it would get even shabbier, and lose what little remained of its Railfreight Distribution decals.
