60076 Aynho Junction 22 July 1993

Viewed from the derelict signal box, 60076 Suilven passes Aynho Junction on 22 July 1993 with the 7V85 13:00 Barrow Hill to Didcot Power Station MGR coal train. Obviously more effort was put into loco cleaning at this time, because the 60s on these trains invariably looked clean. Perhaps it was the case that BR, their then owners treated them like most people treat a new car, and kept them looking good and well maintained, in contrast to DB Schenker's present attitude to the surviving members of the fleet!
