50004 & LMS van in consist, loaded return test run to Doncaster, Darlington station I go all the way to the northeast from my home in the West Country and see a Class 50, however, I consoled myself as this was a historic photograph for me. It was my first photograph and sighting of a 'large logo' locomotive and I remember being astounded by it when it passed Darlington station on the up avoider line. I must have had my camera cocked and ready by chance as I would not have had a view of its approach. 50004 'St. Vincent' is seen on a loaded return test run that would have started at Doncaster usually going as far as Tyne Yard before returning south. Subject to all being well the refurbished Class 50s often took a NE to SW service home from York. Even though this photograph was taken on 31st October it is recorded * that 50004 had been released into traffic three days previously. I believe that St. Vincent was the second member of the class to receive the large logo livery after 50023 'Howe'. Notice the LMS van tucked in behind the locomotive as part of its load. * Haynes, The English Electric Class 50, 2017 Keywords: 50004 LMS van loaded return test run to Doncaster Darlington station St Vincent Class 50
