Back in 1978 as a schoolboy, I undertook an Eastern Region railrover with a friend. For one of our overnight breaks, we stayed at Hexham Youth Hostel. On arrival at the station following our stay we were greeted with this scene, see….. https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/25366388604/x40066-up-freight-hexham-station Some thirty-six years later on a very similar summer’s morning I replicated the scene nearly getting the composition spot on; not bad from memory! Whilst a Class 40 from 1978 is a little more exciting than a Pacer the photographic comparisons are interesting in themselves. 142071 is working the 2N13 09.24 Newcastle to Carlisle Northern service.
