Strange diesel loco hauled

[class37418stag]

Hello everyone

 

I found photo of strange diesel loco hauled while no available class 31 or 37

 

Network SouthEast liveried 47711 County of Hertfordshire was unusual motive power for the 7M53 14:23 Bridgwater to Sellafield nuclear flasks on 11 September 1997. A Class 37 was more usual motive power with Class 31s being a possibility, but this was certainly different! The final container has just being loaded and the loco will shortly move forward the short distance into Bridgwater station, before running round and then heading north. 47711 was one of the original Scottish push pull conversions, in which guise it was named Greyfriars Bobby. It was later transferred to NSE and worked on the West of England Line and on Paddington to Oxford services, until displaced by units in the early

47711 had become a freight loco by 1997 being initially Mainline Freight based at Old Oak Common and later passing to EWS.
