LPPC DSL BW 0786 Emitting that once so-familiar Sulzer Type 2 Class 25 ‘clankety clank’ engine tick-over sound, two late members of the class without corridor connections pause at the end of Gloucester Central’s long main platform. Having crossed the formation from the adjacent Horton Road 85B loco depot, the driver has to change ends before moving off. The lead loco is 7625 (later 25275) which was withdrawn some ten years after this photo was taken, finally broken up at Swindon works in 1984. The headcode would suggest that the locos are due to pick up a special Freightliner, or similar class of traffic. Keywords: BR, Western, Class 25, Gloucester Central, Light Engine, 7625, 25275
