I like this picture taken at Newark Northgate station; it's full of interest. It shows a Deltic working a down express at speed through the station. This particular locomotive is one of either 55021 'Argyll and Sutherland Highlander' or 55014 'The Duke of Wellington's Regiment'. Both were on down workings at this time (12.30 according to the station clock) and both had plated over headcode panels. I was nearly bowled by a class 47 leading an up working but I actually quite like the effect of the rake of coaches stretching out to the left. Notice how quiet the station is, close examination only reveals two customers on the platforms.
