L2024_3498 73129 CITY OF WINCHESTER at Oswestry

Class 73 Electro Diesel CITY OF WINCHESTER E6036 / 73129 emerges from the siding at Oswestry on the Cambrian Heritage Railway ready to take a train to Weston Wharf.

The loco was constructed at English Electric Vulcan Foundary for the Southern Region and entered traffic July 1966, numbered E6036.

It was named CITY OF WINCHESTER in 1982 which it carried until withdrawal in 2003 when it was operated by EWS.

73129 was rescued from Booths by a private purchaser and after some time at Long Marston it went to the Gloucester Warickshire Railway for full restoration and repainting back to its original livery.

In 2021 the previous owner sold it on and it moved home to the Cambrian Heritage Railway in Oswestry. Here it has continued to be improved, the missing centre buffers are being manufactured and the nameplates, which had been missing since 2003 have recently been reinstated.
