' Resplendent Early Afternoon Friday Vans Delivery ' (2 of 2)

            As part of the continuing modernisation of British Railways, the Southern Region completely withdrew steam traction in 1967 with the final passenger service leaving London's Waterloo Station on 9th July. 

Between 5th and 8th October 2017 the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire held a 50th Anniversary Commemorative Steam Gala with two former Southern Region Pacific Locomotives as guest engines.

Pictured again approaching Swithland Sidings and passing the Mountsorrel Branch Line, in glorious early afternoon Autumnal Sun, on Friday 6th October 2017 sees one of them - Bulleid Designed 'Battle of Britain' Class 7P5F 4-6-2 No. 34081 92 Squadron, in very early British Railways Livery,  with a vans freight train for Rothley Brook.  

Not only does this image show the 'Exemplary' restoration work undertaken on the steam locomotive but also the goods wagons too.
