47 194 at Norwich. 1991. - a photo on Flickriver

47 194 at Norwich. 1991.

            Wearing its Railfreight Petroleum sector markings but devoid of a depot plaque 47 194 had until a couple of weeks prior to me taking this shot been allocated to loco pool FPCI based at Immingham. It had been a long term Petroleum sector machine having moved from Crewe to Immingham in January 1991 but from July 1991 it swapped depots again to Sheffield Tinsley and went into their RfD (Railfreight Distribution) long range tank fitted MDDT pool. The loco had been named 'Bullidae' without ceremony in July 1988 when based at Crewe Diesel Depot as BR applied the Latin sea shell names as good public relations with what was then a big local customer, Shell UK Oil Ltd which produced large volumes of rail traffic for the Crewe based fleet out of Stanlow Refinery. The nameplates with the Shell Oil Co. logo were thought to have been removed circa April 1991 after the move to Immingham which is born out by this August 1991 shot.
For the record 47 194 seen here  on the buffers at Norwich had just arrived with 1L93 09.35 Birmingham New Street to Great Yarmouth so a hire in to the passenger sector for the weekend.
