31452 sits stabled outside Bristol Barton Hill depot. Two days earlier, this veteran class 31 had worked down from Carlisle Kingmoor towing ex. DRS 47828 to Exeter. It then returned light engine to Barton Hill. 31452 is seen in its Devon and Cornwall Railways green livery repainted from when it was in Fragonset's dramatic overall black livery and named 'Minotaur'. In its early BR days it was numbered 31279, a locomotive that I saw a number of times in the Bristol area.
