87009_1978_05_Nuneaton_A3_600dpi

            The emerging sunshine is starting to make south facing shots awkward as 87009 City of Birmingham drifts into the Down Fast platform at Nuneaton with a northbound express, 20th May 1978.

Locomotive History
87009 was built at Crewe Works and entered traffic in November 1973. It would spend the next thirty one years pounding up and down the West Coast Main Line until displaced by Class 390 Pendelino’s and withdrawn in April 2004. After storage awaiting its fate at Long Marston it has been exported in November 2012 to Bulgaria for further use.
