RATS IN CLOSE-UP

            25123 & 24xxx head a northbound freight through Gloucester station in 1975. Headcode says 6F50.
25123 has sustained some cab damage which might help identify the date.

With thanks to those who sorted out the second locos identity [in part]!

Part of the Tom Derrington Colletion with photographer unknown. A pity that more of the train was not visible!

25123 as D5273 was new to Toton (16A) on May 22nd 1964.  Renumbered May 1974.

25123 was the 177th Class 25 withdrawn on 1-5-83, one of six retired during that month.

After withdrawal 25123 was stored at Bristol Bath Road until November 14th 1984 when it moved to Swindon Works. The Works closed prior to 25123 being broken up, it was moved to Cocklebury Yard on May 26th 1987, then to Oxford Hinksey Yard on June 2nd 1987, entering Vic Berry's yard on June 11th 1987. The locomotive was cut up by the middle of July 1987, although the cabs remained for a little longer.
