Class "57" photos...


Recommended Posts

Double DRS livery 57/3 aren't necessarily rare on 6K73, more uncommon.

 

Here, 57306 'Her Majesty's Railway Inspectorate 175' and 57301 'Goliath' pass Warrington Bank Quay with 6k73 Sellafield BNF to Crewe Coal yard on April 26, 2016

Interestingly, the pair were booked to work 'K73 the day before on TOPS, but 37604/069 performed instead, presumed to be because 069 needed to return to Crewe.

This wasn't an easy shot to pull off, as I have very little experience in dusk lighting, certainly made settings choices interesting...

57314 brings the empty coaches for a tour to Minehead into Paddington. Interestingly, the 57 appears to have been detached at Paddington and did not accompany the tour westwards.
