Sunday Trip at Crewe

05 January 2003

This the last sunday of the 'Drags' from Crewe to Liverpool and Preston so I have been a trip to Crewe.


47787 Windsor Castle is awaiting its next 'drag'


Crewe station is busy with photographers, the 1F15 departs for Liverpool with 47787 Windsor Castle towing 87030 Black Douglas


57304 GORDON TRACEY is very annoying for 47 fans!!


47841 Sprint of Chester arrives with the 1A55 from Liverpool with 87001 Royal Scot on the rear


Large logo 47847 is seen on the 1A51 from Preston with 86233 on the rear


47847 uncouples from its train


Electric blue 86233/E3172 departs for London. The winter makes photography difficult but its is the best I can do for this shot.


Res 47759 is about to uncouple from the 1A57 from Liverpool.

Many trains from London Euston over 50 minutes late caused by plane crash which hit the overhead line feeder station near Milton Keynes. Another southbound drag I seen was 47744 with 90009 on the rear, I haven't got a photo of I was heading home. Other locomotives on these 'drags' were 47727, 47734, 47805, 47810, 47840, 47843 and 47854.
