An interesting line up of BR's finest in York yard behind the National Railway Museum. On the far left, 25208 takes what I believe to be an ECS working into York station. I cannot identify the Peak and the class 37 in the background. In the foreground are 40007, 37035 and 47361. As D207, the class 40 was new to traffic in the summer of 1958. It survived until January 1984 being withdrawn after sustaining accident damage after a derailment at Llandudno Junction. 37035, that was an Eastern Region loco. for most of its life up until withdrawal in 2000 from March depot. Notice the wire fence laying on the ground to the lower right of the image. Could you imagine a situation like this today with full and open access to a large depot and working lines?
