Hard to believe 32 years ago this locomotive was involved in a head-on collision.On September 5th 1977 the second built 'Generator' was in trouble; 47402 was stationary at Farnley Junction (Leeds) at the head of the 21.50 York to Manchester mail train, when it was hit head-on by the 20.40 Liverpool to Hull DMU service. Both drivers were killed,but fortunately Holbeck secondman 'Brian Mountain' had just stepped off the engine to speak to the signalman on the signal post telephone when the collision occured.Brian escaped that dreadful night to fulfil a long and prosperous railway career as a driver eventually progressing to the top link at Leeds.Brian sadly passed away last month at the age of 74.God bless you Brian. The cause of the accident was discovered to be a fault in a lineside electrical cabinet which had resulted in the junction signals and points being incorrectly set, causing both trains to be directed onto the same running line; with the inevitable and tragic consequence. Despite extensive front-end damage, 47402 was fully repaired and continued in operational service for a further 15 years, and is today preserved at the East Lancashire railway.47402 Passes through the cutting at Burrs on a less than perfect spring afternoon.15/03/2009.

Super subject,Superb sun,Dodgy photographer?.Bad choice of lens.Having not used my Nikon 35-70mm f2.8 lens for some time,and can now see why.There seems to be some issue with the focussing on this lens.Stick to my prime lenses me thinks.66152 once again in charge of 4L28 approaches Hare Park in the glorious afternoon sun.Cracking afternoon with Ross and Simon.18/03/2009. Spring finally arrived at Ribblehead as 66599 eased 6Z73 over Ribblehead viaduct.20/03/2009. 66615 Passes the cottages at Salt Lake with 6E31 on a cloudless spring day.20/03/2009.
