Bury Bolton Street, ELR, Railfreight 09024 Dining Train ecs 18/11/23.

            East Lancashire resident shunter 09024 arrives into Bury Bolton Street station with the Saturday night diner set.
* Built by Horwich Works in 1961 as D4112 deployed to the LM Region and was based initially at Willesden, then Rugby, Crewe and Chester. After a brief spell at Bristol Bath Road was renumbered as 09024 in TOPS, the loco was transferred to the BR Southern Region and based at Southampton.
Clearly based on the standard Class 08 design, the 09's are geared higher with a top speed of around 27mph, making them useful for short trip freight work. 
09024 went into the privatisation era of British Railways working for Mainline at Eastleigh. 
After withdrawal and a close call with the scrap man, 09024 was secured for preservation and arrived at the ELR in 2015. 
The loco has been used extensively on the ELR, particularly as Buckley Wells pilot and received a repaint into Railfreight Grey in 2017.
