Cotswold Rail in Cornwall
Jon Hird
On 15/08/2004 Pathfinder Railtours ran a Chester - Penzance excursion using Cotswold Rail 47316 and 47200. Here the pair arrive at Bodmin Parkway. Copyright Jon Hird.
Passing through St. Austell we meet a First Great Western HST, no doubt headed for Paddington. 15.08.2004, copyright Jon Hird.
The pair of locos push back at Penzance past the signal box in order to run round at Long Rock. 15.08.2004, copyright Jon Hird.
47316 has been detached and 47200 remains on the stock. I always thought this was a great look for the 47's, a light-coloured livery with 3 piece ploughs. 15.08.2004, copyright Jon Hird.
47316 reverses onto the train with the multiple working cable hanging from the socket in the headcode panel. 15.08.2004, copyright Jon Hird.
We say goodbye to the tour at Bodmin Parkway where the pair of locos make a spirited departure, with the trademark plume of 'clag' from both their exhaust ports. 15.08.2004, copyright Jon Hird.
