37684 "Peak National
Park" was sitting, dead in Crewe Diesel Depot yard.
20/9/2002
47784 "Condover Hall"
was being used as yard shunter and first it removed 47783 "Saint
Peter" from the rear of the depot and dumped it on
the scrap line. Next it brought out 47744 "Royal Mail
Cheltenham" without a roof and later attached what
appeared to be a spare alternator(?) followed by a well wagon
carrying the roof section. A class 47 in kit form I guess! Do
47's have alternators? 20/9/2002
Fragonset 47709 "Dionysos"
passed through light engine, heading North. 20/9/2002
47's everywhere it seems as 47847
"Railway World Magazine" headed North
light engine. Everywhere that is except the North Wales Coast?
The 14.02 Holyhead-Birmingham appeared, I think, as a 175/1 unit
instead of the usual class 47. 20/9/2002
Final journey time for 47501 as
it is pushed down the LNWR workshop yard at Crewe to where the
low loader is waiting. 16/9/2002
Slowly the winch hauled the diesel
onto the trailer while "Britannia" looked
on.
Representatives of two eras of
Britain's railways, both now basically defunct. 16/9/2002
Only the chains to fix and it's
off to Glasgow for stripping. 16/9/2002
Still a long way to go to persuade
people to travel by train as 47760 "Ribblehead Viaduct"
takes the 14.02 Holyhead-Birmingham under the A55 "Expressway"
with cars streaming away from North Wales. 16/9/2002
47501 at the LNWR, Crewe workshops
awaiting transfer to Glasgow. 9/9/2002
The other end which is now turning
green with moss growth. 9/9/2002
