TRACTION 2005 Part 1
 Although it was almost certain that 2005 would fail to
produce the usual ‘two-parter’ this was not the case. In fact we had
the usual problem of trying to cram all the footage into 90 minutes! So
here are just a few of the items covered in this programme….the first
and last Class 87-hauled DRS trains, three
Class 57s towing a ‘Pendolino’ from Asfordby to Oxley, four
Class 73s on one GBRf ballast train, 37 427 rescuing a failed 66 on an
Ironbridge MGR, ‘silver machine’ 67 029 on steel trains, 87 014
hauling a Class 325 mail train, Large Logo 37 425 on china clay duties in
Cornwall, Royal Scotsman Class 31s, Railtrack-liveried 73 212 + 73 213 on
ballast duties, DRS’ 37 606 working a Liverpool Street-Norwich service,
47 810 rescuing a Virgin ‘Pendolino’, Class 50s break new ground in
Scotland, 40 145’s three-day ‘Silver Jubilee’ railtour, D1015
storming Luxulyan bank en-route to Newquay, 55 019 returns to the ECML, 33
103 on the East Grinstead and Lowestoft branches, Class 31s rescue Network
Rails’ HST, 56 057 on the Nene Valley…plus coverage of the West
Somerset, Mid-Hants and North York Moors diesel galas.
“This action-packed programme proves it’s not all
over yet. Far from it in fact.” TRACTION MAGAZINE
