With the moon overhead, 55008 ‘The Green Howards’ pauses at York with the 1E40 SO 19.15 Aberdeen-London King's Cross. To the left of the engine note the oil-burning stove to keep the standpipes, used for refilling the steam heat boilers, from freezing up. Notice part of York's world-famous city wall in the background with the former wagon repair works to the far right dating from 1844. The sidings where the coach and the GUV ars stabled is now part of York station's car park.
