Photo taken around 1984/85 by Nigel Turner a Dover driver. Ferry shown is the St Eloi, which was allocated TOPS number 99013.

Worked in that yard from 1981, some of the best times of my railway career, a privilege to work on a unique operation and with some of the finest railwaymen l have known.

The St.Eloi in Sealink colours, she still sails out of Genoa as the Moby Love.

Note the two DSLs on the roads to the linkspan. They always operated in parallel, i.e. both going forward, stopped or reversing, in order to keep the vessel level to the linkspan. 

 

 

DSL?

 

Cheers
