47597 Evenlode 25 April 1984

47597 catches the last of the weak spring sunshine as it passes Evenlode on the evening of 25 April 1984 with the 1C56 17:07 Paddington to Hereford service. This picture would be impossible to duplicate today, as not only has 47597 been scrapped, but more importantly this viewpoint is totally impossible due to the growth of bushes by the bridge. Not only are the bushes in the way, but you cannot even see the track at all now! Also, you can't take the picture in the same way now, as good old Kodachrome 64 is no longer made and the last processing lab has closed down!
