EWS Class 58 no. 58047 heads away light engine up the Romsey line at 10.30. I'll see it later in the afternoon with a train from the MOD base at Ludgershall, near Andover. Originally named "Manton Colliery" this locomotive was withdrawn just over a year later in 2002, exported to Spain in 2004 and scrapped, also in Spain, in 2019.
