Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST 75008 Swiftsure passes Dreason (Charlie's Gate) on 26 September 1993 with the 15:15 Bodmin Parkway to Bodmin General service. 485 of these locomotives were produced between 1943 and 1964. 75008 (works number 2857) was one of the earliest, being delivered to the War Department in 1943. Like a lot of ex-industrial steam locos, it has moved around the various preserved railways, and is no longer at the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. |
