National Power 59204 passes Burton Salmon with the 6D92 11:30 Drax to Ferrybridge limestone empties on 25 October 1995. After witnessing the success of Class 59s in service with Foster Yeoman and ARC, National Power ordered a slightly modified locomotive in 1994, followed by a further five locos the following year. All were initially painted in the striking National Power blue livery, although it is questionable whether white was the best colour choice for the underframes of a heavy freight loco. However when clean (as here) the sub-class certainly looked impressive.
