47299 Micklefield 12 May 1990

47299 passes Micklefield on 12 May 1990 with westbound oil tanks. Introduced (as D1866) in May 1965, the loco was later given the TOPS number 47216. However, after an accident, a so called clairvoyant stated that if it retained the number 47216 it would be involved in further accidents. Rather than ignore this nonsense, the loco was renumbered 47299!
