A rainy day at Crewe - a photo on Flickriver

A rainy day at Crewe

            On my return from Carnforth, I had to change trains so that I could head home to Bristol. The rain had stayed with me all day.

Leaving Crewe Station, this view presented itself to me. The two Class 40s are 40 144, and 40 020 'FRANCONIA'. 

40 144 was built by Vulcan Foundry as D344, entering service in May 1961. She was renumbered in May 1974.  Withdrawal came in May 1981,  she was broken up at Swindon in September 1983.

40 020 was built by Vulcan Foundry as D220, entering service in July 1959. She was renumbered in February 1974.  Withdrawal came in August 1982, she was broken up at Crewe in August 1987.
