Unfortunately, passing so close to Salisbury Tunnel signal box madethe identification of the locomotive and unit impossible. In addition, the usual fallback and 'fact checking' site The RailGenArchive did not have a listing for this working. All I can do is narrow the Crompton down to one on nineteen 33/1s equipped with push/pull jumper equipment. Equally, all that I have in my notes is that the unit being trailed was a Class 411 4CEP unit. The service was easier to identify as the 12.10 London Waterloo to Salisbury 'semi-fast' service that carried the 1L85 headcode (confirmation anybody?). The Crompton sports it correct Southern Region identifier of 62 referring to a 'Waterloo, Woking or Basingstoke and Salisbury or Exeter St Davids semi-fast'** According to the Southern Railway e-mail Group's website. |
