Black day at Water Orton


Ben Cruachan sent me this amazing photo-cutting showing "Bone" loco 58041 having "difficulties" at Water Orton in September 2000 !! The loco was working 6M40 Bescot - Chaddesden spoil. Two red light aspects on the down lines can just be made out through the smoke at left.
Many thanks for this great pic. The loco went to Spain on hire in 2003, presumably in a better state of repair...

A shot to rival any steam photo, though probably a lot more noxious if you were there !
A "Black 5" shot... !
