Freightliner transition at Ipswich - a photo on Flickriver

            Class 66/5 deliveries to Freightliner were well under way in September 2004, but the company still had use for older traction, of Classes 47/57. My photo, taken at Ipswich stabling point on 2 September 2004, shows 66536+66540 in the company of 47270 and 57005. The two Class 66s had been imported into the UK in October and November 2001.

47270 was originally numbered D1971  and had been new in October 1965. It is now preserved. 57005 had been built as D1831, also in 1965. It became 47350 under TOPS and was rebuilt as a Class 57 for Freightliner in November 1998. 57005 was sold to the short-lived Advenza Freight in January 2008, but that company ceased operations in 2009. 57005 spent some time stored at Cardiff Central station, but was sold to West Coast Railways in January 2011. It's remains are still at Carnforth, where it has been used a a source of spares.
