On 21 June 1996, newly named 59002 Alan J Day & 59004 Paul A Hammond catch the evening sun at Little Bedwyn as they head back to Euston from Cranmore with the specially invited guests from the double naming ceremony on the East Somerset Railway. Foster Yeoman had chosen to rename the locos (formerly Yeoman Enterprise & Yeoman Challenger respectively) after company members, although this came as a surprise to those involved at the ceremony, as it wasn't their own names they were expecting to see when they pulled the chord! |
