47079, West Wilts Scouts Jubilee Cruise, Westbury-York, York Station
47079, West Wilts Scouts Jubilee Cruise, Westbury-York, York Station Having pulled into platform 15 at York, the cubs and scouts disembark the train that they have travelled up from Wiltshire on and admire the engine. Unfortunately, I had lost the information as to the identity of the Duff but one of my readers Kevin Preynard (aka Moonraker64) owner of https://www.flickr.com/photos/51096081@N06/ fame has come to my aid. He was also on the train being a Trowbridge lad and informs me that it was 47079 'George Jackson Churchward' that led the train all the way from Westbury. The gaggle of enthusiasts, some of whom may have been York spotters, were probably delighted to see a Canton namer on their patch! I was probably less than pleased that 47079 had hauled the train being one of the most common Class 47s around West Wiltshire hence why I did not have a note of it in my book! Interestingly, this locomotive still lives on 57009 being one of DRS' acquisitions from Freightliner, see..... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30021249681/x11-57009-unidentified-up-rhtt-thorpe
