60009, outward leg of The Yorkshireman, 06.36 Ealing Broadway-York (1Z35, 7E), Wellingborough Driver Way bridge
Leaving quite a trail of exhaust behind it, 60009 'Union
of South Africa' takes 'The Yorkshireman' charter through Wellingborough station. The A4 had brought the train from Ealing Broadway and was heading for York arriving a little ahead of schedule with no repeat of its persistent hot box issue on one of the tender axles that has caused problems in recent months. Apart from one more railtour on 28.03.20 and a possible appearance at the Great Central Railway that will be it for John Cameron's fine locomotive with permanent retirement taking place from 22.04.20.
