85001_1982_09_Birmingham_A3_600dpi

            Composition has taken a bit of a back seat here as I have got far to close to 85001 poking out of the gloom of Birmingham New Street, 25th September 2020.

Locomotive History
85001 was originally E3056 and is one of a class of forty new AC electric locomotives, classified AL5 built by Doncaster works with electrical equipment supplied by AEI. E3056 entered traffic in August 1961 although deliveries of AL5’s were spread over the three and a half years, with the last, E3095 not entering traffic until the last week of 1964. Not having been plagued by the problems of earlier types, the AL5s led a fairly uneventful existence and for the next twenty five years the class could be found on secondary passenger, parcels and freight duties through out the West Coast Main Line. Withdrawals had commenced in 1983 and 85001 was an early casualty being the third member of the class withdrawn when it was condemned in October 1985. By the beginning of 1989 thirty four were still active however withdrawals quickened and by the end of 1991 only one was left in traffic. Following withdrawal 85001 was dumped at Crewe Electric depot, where it remained until it made its final journey to MC Metals, Glasgow where it was broken up during January 1989.
