Camborne '83
Clive Smith

Clive writes :- Not quite sure what fracas 45124 was involved in to acquire the gash on its nose but it ran around sporting the 'war wound' for a while. Here it is at Camborne with the 13.45 Penzance - Bristol TM on the 23rd April 1983.  I often took a few shots at Camborne from the footbridge until the level crossing barriers at the eastern end of the platform of dropped  they often seemed to hold up the train for up to five minutes. Regards Clive Smith.

Peak 45124 stands at Camborne on the 23rd April 1983. Copyright Clive Smith. The scene here seems quite 'leisurely' - nobody in a hurry the door of the 1st class coach left open. It looks like a couple of Clives pals - Peak fans hanging out of the windows of the leading coach.
