Swindon Works
D1004 Western Crusader, an early Western withdrawal, looking very woebegone in Swindon Works yard awaiting scrapping. Even in this condition the fine looks of the Class 52 are evident, which leads me to wonder (and its just a personal opinion) how, after 47 years of 'progress', we produced the Class 70?
Railscot note: Caption amended thanks to additional information from Dave Blake to identify the locomotive correctly.
