47148 passes Silk Mill leading the 09.32 Penzance to Wolverhampton 1M39 summer Saturday service. This 47 was a West Country-based member of the class from the early 1970s until transferring to Tinsley in 1987 to then be promptly withdrawn and cut up two years later. This view is all but impossible now due to the huge bridge constructed to take traffic away from the Silk Mill level crossing. It passes just about over where I am standing to take this photograph.
