25085 & 25032, return leg of The Welsh Marches Pullman, Shrewsbury-Chester, Croesnewydd North Fork signal box
25085 & 25032, return leg of The Welsh Marches Pullman, Shrewsbury-Chester, Croesnewydd North Fork signal box Graham and I had been hoping for a bit of steam action on this, the first day of our two-day trip to North Wales. We were not too sure as to when the 'Welsh Marches Pullman' hauled by the NRM's Black 5 5000 would be passing us in the Wrexham area in those pre-internet days! Unfortunately, the Black 5 failed at Shrewsbury on the return run so a scratch pair of 'Rats' was summoned to lead the charter. 25085 and 25032 are seen passing Croesnewydd North Fork signal box with an associated trail of exhaust from the leading locomotive. Fellow rail photographer Ingy The Wingy documented this train a little later in the afternoon at Chester shown on his Flickr site..... https://flic.kr/p/hE7voh Keywords: 25085 25032 return leg of The Welsh Marches Pullman Shrewsbury-Chester, Croesnewydd North Fork signal box
