Unexpected 'Whistler' - a photo on Flickriver

Unexpected 'Whistler'

            Summer Saturday on the 'Fylde', and things look to have gone a little awry on 24th August 1980 as the afternoon London Euston - Blackpool North is seen passing Salwick with Class 40 No. 40158 in charge. The locomotive had no ETH facility for the air-conditioned mark 2 stock, but as it had taken over from an electric at Preston the half an hour or so without that facility to Blackpool was probably considered acceptable, even on a muggy August afternoon. The signal box is looking a bit careworn, but was to survive through to November 2017. On the right is the signalman's car, which looks to be a product of Longbridge.
