44004, down freight, Toton Yard I had been at Toton for some time now and having seen no class 44s I was getting concerned. By late 1979 there was only three left in service so my chances were limited. This was all about to change as 44004 (ex D4, Great Gable) arrived with a down freight that included some delightfully antiquated wagons. With a characteristic plume of exhaust from its Sulzer engine, it gets underway off to the north yard. Keywords: 44004 down freight Toton Yard
