Barrow Hill Diesel Gala
9th July 2006
We organised a camping weekend in the Peak District to enable us to get to
Barrow Hill on the Sunday of their Diesel Gala weekend. Our £25 ticket
included a mainline circular trip via Derby, Nottingham and the EWS Toton
Depot. 40 013 was positioned inside the gates to greet us.
This was our first visit to Barrow Hill, and we didn't really know what to
expect. There were plenty of withdrawn diesels and a few operational ones.

A happier sight lay to our right as the sun appeared. Here's 58 001
