A classic location at the eastern end of Westbury station that has been a firm favourite for many photographers over the years. Thankfully, it’s a cloudy day becuase if the sun had been out this shot would have been straight into it. It shows 47537 leaving the station leading an unidentified up working. 47537 is still on the network today (2018) as a maroon WCRC locomotive numbered 47772. Notice in the background, the massive number of locos. on-shed at Westbury Depot. It looks to be packed with class 37 and 47 locomotives that, as it was a Saturday, would be standing idle awaiting their next job.
