47759 Sutton Bridge Junction 13 May 2000

47759 swings round the curve at Sutton Bridge Junction, near Shrewsbury with the EWS 1Z43 06:47 Rose Grove to Cardiff 'St James' Day Tripper' special on 13 May 2000. 47759 was one of the minority of Res liveried locomotives that never received a Res themed name. It survived for another couple of years after this picture was taken, then after a lengthy period in store was finally cut up at Ron Hull's Rotherham yard in January 2008.
