LPPC DSL BW 0433 The evolution of the species. Two Brush Type 4 Class 47s sidle their way around the back of the up side at Crewe returning light-engine to Crewe DED. The two locos display liveries representing the first and the then latest colour schemes of original duo-tone green and the latest rail blue whilst the train-spotter on the trolley must have seen both many times before. on 23rd May 1970, the Britannia bridge across the Menai Straits connecting mainland Wales and Anglesey was seriously damaged by fire causing the main line to Holyhead to be closed. D1851 was one of three Class 47’s stranded at Holyhead, the others being D1724 & D1940. All three were later moved by sea across to Barrow-in-Furness. Keywords: Digital, Rights Managed, Stock
