Now this is how we like to see locos! This was actually a positioning move for Cotswold Rail's 47714 that resulted in it taking charge of a Tilbury to Lawley Street liner on July 19th 2005. It is seen clagging up nicely whilst running through Crouch Hill with that old survivor 47303 behind, running but not we think working the train. This is the first reported freight working of this ex Scottish pusher in Anglia livery ...so a big thank you to the man at the controls for giving the loco a little 'thrash' at just the right moment.
