Western Generations - a photo on Flickriver

            There's four ages of Western Inter-City motive power here, on view off Sutherland Road bridge which spans the tracks at the east end of Plymouth station.

Left to right you have 1936 built GWR Castle no 5043, Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. Showing the Z48 headcode, the Castle was waiting centre road to attach to 1Z48, a re-run of the 1964 Zulu 48 special.

Next comes the 1970's First Great Western InterCity 125 set, built from 1975 to 1982 and still the Inter City train to the west.

At platform 6, D1015 Western Champion waits with 1Z53 to Tyseley, a four coach split from the outward 1Z52 from Solihull. The Westerns, along with their smaller relatives Warships, ruled the roost to the west in the 1960's and early 1970's.

Last, and most definitely least, we have a class 221 Cross Country Voyager on 1S55 to Edinburgh. Do we have to talk about it? No? Good...

You don't get line ups like this so often, even less so easily photted. Enjoy :)
