25 295 Derby Works - a photo on Flickriver

25 295 Derby Works

            This probably qualifies as the saddest railway photo I've ever taken. I think it was the first time I'd seen a member of a class I'd grown up with in such a derelict condition. 
25295 was withdrawn in 1978 after only 12 years in traffic, so had sat here at Derby Works for a considerable time when I photographed the remains on 10/1/81. 
New to Tinsley, it spent a year working off there and Barrow Hill before being transferred to the LMR where it spent most of its career working from Willesden. According to Harris, the loco was finally cut up in October 1981.
