1st April 1990

47580 "County of Essex" is heading south at Rewe with an unknown parcels working, most unlike me as I have always tried to identify each train I shoot. I must have lapsed on this day! It's a lovely sunny and mild spring day, and this shot was taken soon after the north-bound "Silver Bullets" china clay train had passed by. But that was a failed shot, a case of "close, but no cigar" as I mistimed it! Oh well, things like that happened to me from time to time!
