47286 at Kensington Olympia - a photo on Flickriver

            Kensington Olympia station on 10 August 1990, looking a bit different to how it looks today. The station was still controlled by semaphore signals, and the southbound platform (on the left of my photo) had not yet been brought into use, so that all BR trains had to use what is now the northbound platform.

the only local services to use the station at this date (except for the London Underground trains) were the shuttle service between Kensington Olympia and Clapham Junction. My photo shows Class 47 no 47286 running north light engine.

47286 was built at Crewe Works in 1966 and was originally numbered D1988. It was withdrawn from service at Bescot (BS) in June 1999 and was scrapped at Wigan CRDC in September 2000.
