Sharpo’s “Midlands” Photo Gallery

Update 66

“DRS fest” (4 x 37s) also 57005 at Water Orton 13/02/09

 

What else could I call it? 4 x DRS Class 37s all in one photo was a real treat, certainly didn’t expect that! I knew there was an Eastleigh to Derby working but only knew of 2 locos on it, the Stowmarket to Crewe was a real surprise.
The original plan was to see the train at Tyseley, but hearing an Advenza working was heading north (I always miss the scrap runs) a change of plan was needed. If they ran to time I would see them both between 1pm & 2pm, which fitted in well with local passenger trains stopping at Water Orton.
All the trains seen in the photos passed by within that hour.

20 photos numbers on right, underlined are new to gallery - a good result!
