18th April 1989

BR Trainload Construction - that's who owned and operated Class 47/0 no. 47063, seen here parked up in the sidings behind the crew quarters and admin building (just off to the right). The town of Westbury lies beyond. This locomotive was, more or less, just as it was when first introduced. No conversion to ETH, long range tanks or multiple working equipment or anything else. Just a plain and simple "Duff" that lost its steam heat generator at some point, with a new coat of paint from time to time. By 1995 it was surplus to requirements, withdrawn, and then cut up in 1996. There is every chance that the car has gone the same way too!
