Subterranea 2 - or, I didn't get where I am today by taking a dim view of a 'Peak' 😎
Failed pictures - or the ones that got away 😎, A shot from the platform of 45064 no-heat Class 45 'Peak' - taken I believe at Leeds Central - or could have possibly been in the 'Black Hole of New Street'?, , UPDATE - original log book found! Took 45064 from Leeds to York in leading coach E5195., , 45064 (BIG PEAK) in E5195 Mk.II, d. Leeds 20.13, Cross Gates 20.20, Garforth 20.22, Micklefield 20.24, Church Fenton 20.27, Ulleskelf 20.29, a. York 20.37, , The train then continued as 20.44 to Newcastle., , Locomotive History D105 / 45064, D105 was built at Crewe Works and entered traffic in June 1961, allocated to Derby MPD. The loco would always be a Midland Main Line engine being allocated throughout its career predominately at Toton with brief spells at Leicester and Cricklewood. D105 was one of the first Peaks to receive blue livery, during June 1966, and therefore stood out from the rest of the diesel fleet around Nottingham at this time. The loco was renumbered as 45064 in 1974. After more than twenty four years service, and just under four years since its last classified repair at Derby Works in March 1981, 45064 was withdrawn in January 1985. It was broken up in November 1988 by Vic Berry's of Leicester. (Details courtesy of John Woolley - see his photo from 1974 in Comments below), , Withdrawn in 1985 45064 met its end in Vic Berry's yard in Leicester during 1988., , Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and standard lens. Scanned from the original negative with no digital improvement :), , You can see a random selection of my railway photos here on Flickriver: www.flickriver.com/photos/themightyhood/random/
